Pros

- Great Salary and Benefits - Amazing coworkers - the best! - Interesting and Exciting product in a hot tech space - Good work life balance - Amazing opportunities for personal and professional growth - Open and inviting work environment that encourages new ideas - Great leadership, vision and transparency

Cons

- Unique, independent work environment means that not everyone fits. There’s not a lot of room for bureaucracy and a “not my problem” response. This is a Pro for me, but I’ve witnessed others struggle. - Heavy use of slack and reliance on “immediate action” rather than a systematic and planned approach to processes. While this was awesome in the early days, we struggle to scale now as we’re growing up. - Lacking some process. Things can feel chaotic at times.

Hello, thank you so much for your kind review! We are always trying to improve as we position ourselves for future growth, so your list of points is invaluable. We are continually trying to balance our need for speed with appropriate planfulness but without adding unnecessary layers of bureaucracy, so your point on this is well made and helps us understand where we need to focus more. Thank you!

Pros

Fully remote, flexible, and monthly stipends. Good pay.

Cons

Shady leadership. Tendency to hire employees for a specific reason only to dissolve their position once whatever project they forecasted for the employee is complete. I’ve seen it happen to multiple employees during my employment until it finally happened to me after a few years. Was advised by a former employee in leadership that I would more than likely be overloaded with work and worked out the door in some way because that was their trend. I didn’t believe it but it started happening to many people around me. I don’t trust these people and managers are very loose lipped, move sloppily, and doesn’t know how to not let secrets slip out. I knew my position was being dissolved from meetings I saw on my managers calendar. Luckily I started applying for jobs because I saw the writing on the walls. I had something else lined up but was still a bit blindsided because I was clearly communicating need for help to my leadership. Multiple interviews asking how I was doing and what I needed help with only for 3 days later to be told my position was no longer needed.
