Pros

Company is growing. Engineers still get a reasonable amount of freedom but it is diminshing.

Cons

Growing middle manager group. In transition between startup style to more "corporate" style.

Thank you for this feedback. It is true that we are growing quickly and are no longer in the traditional "startup" phase of our lifecycle. I hope that's a good thing --- it means we are successful -- but it's certainly an evolution in how we manage the business. Hopefully we're still retaining the best parts of a smaller organization even at scale. We remain innovative and agile, and there's near unlimited ability to grow, develop and have impact even as the organization matures. Hopefully we are creating the right balance and offering the best of both worlds. Please give us continued feedback on where we are getting it right and where we have to iterate!

Thank you for the feedback. It is true that we are growing fast, and with that the intent is to make sure there are as many opportunities for internal growth as there are for external hires. We have a number of development programs we are rolling out, but I know we can do better on that front and there is a commitment to do that. Please hold me and the People team accountable.

Awesome. Thank you. I will only add that there being "a lot to learn" is one of the pros for our organization as well! Thank you for the feedback. I promise we'll keep in investing in the future.
