      Great First Impressions, First Time Remote

      Pros

      - The hiring process was a bit long, but probably one of the best, most straightforward hiring experiences I have been through. - The remotee-first culture is fantastic, really setting the bar for how to operate a company in a distributed fashion. - There is a lot of cutting-edge technology to work with/on, and a lot of smart, helpful people to work on it with you. - The path forward is starting to materialize with a new CEO and executive suite at the helm, with (seemingly) a lot of opportunity for innovation and career growth within the company.

      Cons

      - A lot of longer-term employees are starting to churn. It isn't clear why people leave all the time, but this can be off-putting or demoralizing when just starting out, not being sure if they have better context on whether we are headed in "the right direction." - It is not clear that there is strong technical leadership at the top. This has led to a lot of disparity at the bottom, which needs to be cleaned up if we want to grow at the pace we have been recently.

      Business Outlook

      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      Growing fast so some processes aren't well defined or are outdated.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.
