Amazing company to work for

Pros

The company approaches the product, customers and employees with equal respect, which shapes the company culture into a very positive one. Being consultative at all levels is core to Airtable's approach and it's been great to work at a company that places such as high value on every voice. There are a lot of ambitious people work at Airtable, and I believe it's a place that high achievers can thrive without being burnt out because there's such a high emphasis on being thoughtful, deliberate, and human-centric. Also - have to call out what a good job they do of attracting diverse, interesting, but always approachable people for the team. It's make it such a pleasant atmosphere. Cross-functional collaboration is also very strong here (a given, considering it's a product built on workplace collaboration).

Cons

Like I said, there's a lot of ambition. The scope of what we want and can achieve is so large that the work load is huge.

All the usual perks, with unusually good colleagues

Pros

I can't wrap my head around why Airtable doesn't market the heck out of its employee perks like every other startup, especially since its generosity is noteworthy even by Bay Area standards. It takes care of its team: Epic snack wall, catered lunches, financial support to configure your workspace however you like, dinner on the company if you work late, great insurance, free gym membership... I guess such perks are just taken for granted at well-funded startups, but it seems like other companies always make a point of mentioning they are on this bandwagon, while Airtable inexplicably doesn't broadcast any of this on its Jobs page. I've never worked at a place that puts as much stock in team comfort. What's probably harder to find at well-funded startups in an engineering team that's as humble and fun as the devs working at Airtable. There are just a bunch of smart people who are pleasant to be around -- management has done a good job with its early hires, and the company is in growth mode right now, expanding the team at a pretty fast clip.

Cons

The process of getting hired was pretty intense. I have no doubt Airtable has lost some promising candidates due to its demanding and drawn-out hiring process. It's easier to get a job elsewhere, especially as an engineer in this buyers' market. Now that we have an actual recruiting team, I suspect we're a lot better organized than we used to be at this stuff, when the same person in charge of everything else was also tasked with hiring. That's the other caveat emptor -- the workload itself is considerable and most folks have more on their plate than a 40-hour work week fits. This is not something you hear much griping about because it's an ambitious crowd. You're signing up for a pre-IPO startup, after all -- that's why you get options. If you like working hard with good people on a ship that shows no signs of sinking, it's worth running the hiring gauntlet to get in.

Pros

- Working on a product that users are *super* passionate about - Coworkers who care deeply about their work and will push you to do the best work of your life. - No silos: engineering, design, marketing, sales, customer success all work and communicate closely. Everyone is welcome to give feedback on the product and internal processes. - Interesting challenges in all areas, ranging from novel UI/UX to real-time infrastructure that scales

Cons

There's an infinite amount of work, which can result in hard decisions when it comes to prioritization.
