Strong leadership, great culture, cool business in a growth industry
Pros
- Well-funded business with lots of interesting dynamics at play (monthly subscription model, two-sided marketplace) in a growing industry; as result, lots of interesting work to be done and great growth opportunities for employees - Strong executive-level leadership that exercises sound judgment in prioritizing resources and promotes a true "marketplace of ideas" intellectual culture where everyone is encouraged to debate/dissent and the best ideas win the day, regardless of where/who they came from - Optimal work culture for strong performers; you're expected to and will be rewarded for hard work, but you can generally set your own hours and take time off/work remotely when needed - Most people who work here are just genuinely nice people; I give the founders a ton of credit for generally hiring kind, non-toxic people in the early days of the company which proliferated over the years
Cons
- Mostly typical startup/growth stage company stuff; can be hard to feel like you're "on top" of everything given the sheer number of moving pieces at any one time, and there's so much to be done (in a good way!) that work can feel very consuming if you don't actively manage your own work-life balance
