Pros

This company is ambitious and vigorous! People are decisive, action-oriented, and collaborative. We care about our customers, our product, and each other. Appreciation is part of daily life, even from the top: Every week, we give each other shoutouts and our CEO reads them out loud at our all hands. I'm often blown away by what people are able to accomplish in a short time.

Cons

Our mission is clear and our timeline is incredibly ambitious, but our strategy is in flux. As a result, we are trying to do everything now! Everyone is doing as much as they can with what information they have, and because we're a startup, we all have leeway to do a lot... This leads to toe-stepping AND important things falling through the cracks, which means a lot of backtracking. Adaptability is a prized skill in an environment like this.

Pros

+ Super exciting product to work on + Major technical challenges + Open leadership and high transparency of vision + Incredibly smart and motivated team + WFH-positive culture allows a distributed team + High diversity for a tech company, has active DE&I group actively pushing hiring and education + Passionate customers and unique exciting app + Significantly above average willingness to engage with customers, and to have *all* employees engaging with customers. Very user-centric company. + Brilliant visionary founders that are also humble and excited to collaborate + I have worked to refer 4 former coworkers so far, if that tells you anything.

Cons

–It's a startup, so things change frequently. Not the job for you if you want super clear long-term goals and consistency. – Sometimes we can go so fast that we make mistakes that could have been prevented – We're still figuring out structural stuff like engineering ladders, how often to do reviews, consistent org, etc. We continue to improve on it but people who need this sort of thing locked in place might be uncomfortable.
