Pros

- User-centric and empathetic approach to building product, and it's obvious how this mindset guides the features we build for our products - We're a small start-up, but we're bootstrapped and profitable, so we get the best of both worlds: job security as well as the excitement of a start-up - Transparent communication from leadership team; they are still very much involved in day-to-day operations, which is great as we all learn the rationale behind decisions - Opportunity to grow and learn; it feels like big achievements don't go unnoticed, and promotions are given fairly - Supportive and talented team members who contribute to a friendly atmosphere; this is a big reason why I love working here! - Remote, async, and flexible working; we make use of async communication tools like Twist instead of Slack - Fair and transparent pay

Cons

- Lean benefits package (no health insurance, small pension employer contribution), but the high pay makes up for this

This was a great review for me to open up on a Monday Morning! Thank you 🙏 Yep, working async/remote can be lonely sometimes, and it's not for everyone! And it takes a fair bit of getting used to if you haven't worked like this before. Generally speaking, like the OP, our folks find that the trade-off is well worth it and enjoy all the flexibility, autonomy and trust that comes with it. Sadie, Director - TA
