Pros
* Some already mentioned this, but I want to reiterate it once again - the company is really driven by the values (as cliche as it may sound). You often hear people mention values in both formal and informal work discussions, e.g. "That project was really hard and took a lot of it, that person showed a lot of Grit to make it work". More importantly, all of these are noticed and appreciated by other people on the team; * Especially during the COVID-19 times, Adaptability value was at strongest with quickly adapting to a remote lifestyle, providing help for working parents, or even creating new opportunities to connect with other Grammarlians across offices; * Another great aspect near and dear to my heart is the product itself - these days a lot of consumer companies rely on ads or traffic schemes for a business model. Grammarly has a strong Premium value that drives its core business. The value is also appealing to a wide audience. So whatever features we create, it feels like it will be used by many people * I also appreciate all the mentorship and career guidance I received so far. Grammarly was the first company where I saw a career path with levels for a PM role. This creates a shared set of expectations and growth opportunities I can follow in my career.
Cons
* Having teams in both North America and Ukraine makes it often hard to collaborate on large projects. There is really no downtime cause once the day is over in Kyiv, it only starts in North America. So you have to be really mindful about creating your own work-life balance.
