Pros

There's a lot of freedom for both what to work on and how. Engineers are allowed (required) to organize their work how they see fit, with the guiding principle being to ship as fast as possible. The same goes for prioritization, if a project has a clear line to improving the customers' experience with the product, it gets done. There are no quarterly goals or roadmaps that get in the way of delivering real value.

Cons

The absence of quarterly/annual product goals can make it feel like priorities change on the whims of leadership, especially for engineers who prefer to execute on a crisply-defined long term vision.

Pros

Incredible project management and communication. Every team member is so welcoming and kind. I've been here 6 months and am very much enjoying it!

Cons

So far I don't have any cons - especially since working with them for my maternity leave and their introduction of NYC commuter benefits

Pros

- We're winning the AI market (dozens and dozens of high profile AI companies), and is fun to sell to developers who have a real need for the product to scale rapidly - Land and expand usage model allows us to win quickly, with some companies blowing through their 12 mo contracted credits in 3 mo (good for us) - Plenty of opportunity to take ownership and make a real impact - Overall, it’s a place where you can do meaningful work, learn quickly, and be part of something that's taking off

Cons

- That said, like any fast-growing company, there’s still iteration happening around segmentation, pricing, and sales process - Eng is shipping so quickly there's always more to sell, but at different stages of readiness - Things can change quickly, which is great if you’re adaptable and a builder, but frustrating if you want to run an established old school playbook
