Pros

- Fast growth has allowed the value of equity to grow by leaps and bounds. If you get in early enough, it could be good for your individual net worth. - The idea of automating boring work is a mucho important idea and the company is positioned well to serve growing demand, if it can get out of its own way. - The company is ambitious and focused on growing even more in 2020. If successful, it will be good for customers and us employees. - Lots of great new talent has come aboard in the last 12-18 months. The quality of some hires is truly astonishing. I am regularly proud of the people I work with.

Cons

- 2019 was chaos. The company wasn't ready to grow as fast as it tried to grow. Broken and understaffed IT, finance, HR, operations, facilities, and corporate teams really struggled. - Tenured leaders, including one or more of the founders, continue to resist change and hold the company back from achieving true greatness. Too much nepotism, cronyism, favoritism, and "that's not the way we've always done it"-ism. - The growth in equity value will be hard to sustain, so new joiners may not be able to benefit so much from options. Maybe it is time for a different solution. - Some terrible hiring decisions also happened in 2019. Already seeing higher turnover and destructive departures as a result.

We're focused on improving on all dimensions you touch on, from fostering mature processes (to tame the feelings of chaos) to strengthening meritocratic culture practices. We've made huge strides in the last couple of years and hope that you'll see lots of progress this year.
