Pros
1) The People. This is by far the most interesting group of people I've worked with. Comfy doesn't screen just for skillset; they look for culture fit as well, and they don't try to fit candidates into a box--which has resulted in an immensely diverse, talented, and caring company. People here genuinely like spending time with each other, whether it's going for a drink after work or hiking on Mt Tamalpais.
2) The culture, like the brand, is also quirky and fun. If you take a look at the webpage, that's really what it's like--fresh, edgy, and just fun. From a CEO who loves to mix drinks for the team to a product team that hacks together strings of LEDs just for fun, this is an environment where people are given the freedom to be curious and learn from each other. Unlike most places where "company values" are something that gets written up by HR and posted in a manual somewhere, this is a company where people genuinely live their set of values each and every day.
3) The product. If you've ever wanted to be in the business of category creation and disrupting an age-old industry (along with all the ups-and-downs of that journey), this is it. Starting off with a simple idea--giving people the ability to control their own temperature--this product has so much potential, I can't wait to see where things end up over the next several years.
Cons
As with all successful start-ups, as the company grows, roles & responsibilities tend to shift around--but sometimes people are slow to let go of what they used to do and still expect to be as involved (as was the case when it was a small company). The management team has been stepping in more to make the necessary changes, which is great.
