Pros

Weave is very different than other companies I've worked for (in a very good way). There's a lot of reasons why, but I'll boil this down to three bullet points: 1. The Tech - Weave follows good engineering practices and dedicate a LOT of resources to ensure high quality software development and deployment. This means a generous budget for tooling, services, and equipment. There's also a well-staffed operations group, as well as a dedicated team for internal tooling. Infrastructure is well defined and the deployment process is top-notch, with very little red tape and high trust. 2. The Culture - Weave is open-source friendly and has sponsored and hosted dozens of community meetups at its offices. Silo and ego levels are very low and developers are encouraged to help out other teams. There is a culture of being caring and putting people before profits. 3. The Leadership - The executive team has been very good about making things transparent, and they are very generous with the people who work at Weave. Who else has a paternity/maternity policy like weave? Who else hires life coaches for every employee? While Weave is growing exponentially, the growth and hiring process is driven by actual revenue and not a desperate drive to throw more humans at some unicorn-obsessed goal to become public or get acquired.

Cons

Not really a con, but you are given a LOT of freedom. A lot of responsibility comes with that. Sometimes that means you don't wait for someone to hand you backlog items to work on. You proactively find the best way to focus your effort and time. Also, if you broke something in production, you get to fix it :) .

Pros

Decent health and other benefits Hybrid work Some great team members

Cons

Benefits have become increasingly less competitive over time. Senior leadership feels deeply disconnected from frontline teams and day-to-day operational realities. Leadership culture often leaned heavily toward visibility over trust, creating an environment where being seen sometimes felt more important than actual output. Strong micromanagement tendencies from upper leadership created unnecessary pressure and reduced autonomy for managers and teams. Urgency culture was exhausting — nearly everything was treated as critical, making it difficult to maintain healthy work-life boundaries. After-hours messages and shifting priorities were common. Decisions often felt reactive rather than strategic, which created frustration and inconsistency across teams. Employee trust did not always feel mutual, and oversight could feel excessive rather than supportive. Certain areas of management, particularly within onboarding/leadership structures, at times felt influenced by favoritism, inconsistent treatment, and cliquish dynamics rather than transparency and merit-based decision making. Collaboration across teams could feel impacted when communication and opportunities did not always appear evenly distributed. Compensation and benefits no longer felt competitive compared to similar roles elsewhere. People not employees used to be such a common phrase for Weave. You literally do not hear or see it anywhere anymore.
