The Successful Maturing of an Already Great Organization

Pros

amazingly smart people that are driven, passionate and just generally good people who care about making products and experiences that are elegant yet simple

Cons

the company is maturing and undergoing a lot of change with a new CEO at the helm, so the path isn't always 100% clear yet, but if you thrive in a place where you can create a bit of your own destiny and don't stress about change, then no problem!

One of the true tests of a strong culture is how much the values hold constant across organizational change. Because we are growing and scaling so quickly, change happens faster and more frequently than most companies. But maturation is a natural part of the process, and hopefully the best of our culture remains as we move out of our start-up phase. Your feedback is encouraging that it will. We've worked hard to make an inclusive environment, and are proud of where we've made strides in increasing diversity across the organization. You are correct that we need to do much, much better in this areas at the leadership level if we're going to effectively compete both for talent and as a business. It's an area of focus for us so please hold us accountable in this area.

Thank you for the feedback. The lunches are pretty delicious! We try hard to make our remote experience is great as an in-office one. It sounds like you are appreciating the culture we've created overall but we need to do better at increasing inclusivity with remote events. We will absolutely focus on that more, especially as we build up our Bay Area presence - please let us know how we are doing.
