Pros

- The product is used by 10's of millions of people every month. There are a lot of scale challenges to support billions of voice calls and text messages every month. - The company is profitable. TextNow only raise a seed round 8 years ago. TextNow has a strong business and has plans to grow 10x in the next 3 years. - TextNow moved to a "work best" policy, meaning you can work remotely forever! - The company is run very transparently. Company earnings and profit are shared every month. I feel very aligned with the company's goal and understand how I fit into the company's success. - Major changes to leadership have addressed many of the concerns that have been posted on Glassdoor. A new leader in product, engineering, and growth have changed the culture in a positive way. - Smart, capable, and enjoyable co-workers. TextNow attracts great people, many of whom I call my friends.

Cons

- We have trouble keeping up with the demands of the business. We cannot hire fast enough, which results in existing team getting stretched thing.
