Pros

- Remote work - Incredible ICs to work with - Some good managers scattered throughout

Cons

Company has no idea what direction they want to go. All investments go into one product or strategy for a few months and then everyone is told to completely shift gears which leaves the team with little momentum and not much to sell. Leadership doesn’t care about retention or growth of employees. Professional development plans and conversations are not welcomed or taken seriously and they are disregarded if you make them happen. Competition is biting at their heels due to the lack of direction from the company over the years.

Pros

One of the most fulfilling aspects of working here is the impactful work we do. Almost every project feels like it has a purpose. Employees are encouraged to think beyond just their roles and contribute to something bigger, and generally people feel very bought in to the product. Cross-functional teamwork is encouraged, making everyone feel like they are part of a collective mission rather than working in silos. Leadership is open to new ideas and perspectives, ensuring that we stay ahead of the curve, and ideas are welcomed from all levels of the organization. The company values work-life balance. Leadership genuinely values well-being, offering remote and hybrid work options and a culture that prioritizes results over hours spent at a desk.

Cons

As the company has grown, decision making has become more complex. With more stakeholders involved, it can sometimes be challenging to move quickly and efficiently. The emphasis on collaboration (while a great strength!) can occasionally slow things down and create bottlenecks when fast execution is needed.
