Pros
The business is growing very fast, which is fun to be part of. You can literally see the growth as thousands of items come in and go out the door every day. Something is really working and I feel that the company will be very successful. Employee experience has improved a lot over the past year. There’s now free food pretty much every day, healthcare plan is good, we have a 401K plan (with company matching!). There’s lots of great, smart, friendly people. Many teams work well together, and at this point there is almost no internal politics.
Cons
The environment is very fast paced and unrelenting, which can put pressure on work-life balance. And the company has made more than a few bad hires, who end up causing damage to the business and culture. As the company has grown and become more well-know, this is getting better. There are some managers who are inexperienced and are struggling, which is understandable in a company with so many young people, but this should be made more of a priority.
