Pros

- A product that has found product-market fit and continues to grow and sell, despite downturn in tech market - Leadership gives you the autonomy to work and manage your own projects / offer suggestions on new projects to try - Above market salary and internal comp initiatives like adjustments for inflation and market adjustments keep the salary extremely competitive - Still has some start-up / scrappy vibes despite growing a ton this year, perfect if you want to work somewhere without too much bureaucracy (but not a shoe-string start up that could fold at the first economic downturn)

Cons

- Sometimes feels tough to collaborate cross-functionally. When I'm trying to get feedback or something back from other teams, it can take a while for them to respond on slack or give an estimated timeline. Not a huge deal, but is a pain point when I'm working on projects that need external input

Pros

- Awesome founders when they were involved in the day-to-day - Great benefits

Cons

- Lost a lot of what made this place special during the scale up from 100-1000 employees - Hired a ton of outside leadership which ultimately resulted in a culture shift and many of the people who worked there the longest leaving

Pros

* Flexible working arrangements and quite a bit of autonomy. * A genuinely supportive manager and a collaborative, positive team environment. * Competitive pay for the role and responsibilities.

Cons

In recent years the company has shifted in a direction that feels very different from the organisation I originally joined. * There is a strong emphasis on a “high performance culture”, but there is limited structure or support in place to help employees develop the skills needed to meet those expectations. * Career progression and compensation increases can feel closely tied to visibility rather than the quality or impact of the work itself. * The company is moving away from its fully remote approach. In-person events that were once optional are now mandatory, even for teams that may not directly benefit from them. The locations chosen do not always appear to consider the needs or circumstances of a globally distributed workforce, and employees are now required to go through formal accommodation processes simply to avoid international travel due to health or safety concerns.
