Growing, but awesome

Pros

Smart people. Great lower+mid-level management. Extremely excellent remote culture. Awesome market and customers. Get to work on fun/hard problems at scale. Pays well. Great opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Upper management hasn't been very stable, but that's not really a negative, just "not awesome". The company is growing too, and that automatically means things change. As far as I've seen, it's usually for the better, but I understand earlier employees feeling like things are wildly different now.

We are indeed awesome. Thank you for the feedback. I especially appreciate the insights on our managers -- we invest a lot in making sure they are supporting and developing their teams to the fullest of their potential, and it's great to see that's paying off. Please keep sharing feedback so that we remain at current levels of awesomeness!

Pros

New tech, innovation and constant push to be a big name in the cloud platform space.

Cons

Growing fast so some processes aren't well defined or are outdated. Slows things down a bit, as a Software Engineer working here/onboarding.

Thanks for the feedback. We are indeed growing fast but I promise career growth will remain top of mind. The only way to scale effectively is through careful attention to employee development as well as product development. We're on it.
