Very metrics driven. OKRs are helpful to understand goals and targets. Very collaborative without egos. We shipped increasingly fast and was exciting to see customer feedback.
Cons
Less process than large companies. Makes it great to move fast but need to adjust to a startup mindset if coming from a large FAANG.
- Can easily be a part of a large variety of initiatives
- No ego amongst team members, highly collaborative
- Strong CEO and leadership team
- Engineering team moves very fast to push out features
- Good holiday policy and work-life understanding
- Scrappy startup feel, great for people who want to learn the ropes
Cons
- Some of the expected and typical startup pains that come with fast-growth companies, high workload for those who are willing to take it on (not necessarily a bad thing)
