Pros

- Really enjoyable and fun people to work with - The company has a mission and all levels of the company work to uphold that mission - Large market opportunity and a proven product-market fit - Good work-life balance and lots of flexibility to fit your working style

Cons

- Typical growing pains for a startup. It's a small team so you wear multiple hats and have to compete for limited resources in order to fund projects. People here listen to data-driven arguments, so as long as you build a strong business case you have a good chance to get your project prioritized. - There's more layers to management than you might expect for a startup - Does not match 401k

Pros

- My manager seemed to be very supportive and eager to set me up for success. - Interesting technology stack and space to improve things. - I was genuinely happy with the work I was doing at the time. - Good designers and developers on the product team. - Team members who were part of the layoff were extremely supportive, beyond any expectation I could have for that situation I found myself in. I will be forever grateful to that community.

Cons

- The CEO explicitly assured the company at an offsite that finances were great and layoffs wouldn't happen. Two weeks later, I was laid off. - The layoff occurred just four weeks before my scheduled paternity leave, causing immense, unnecessary anxiety. - Once you are out, you are erased. Management and former peers completely iced me out and never reached out again, exposing a deeply cold, phony and transactional culture.
