Pros
A lot of companies talk about the importance of their culture during your interview process, but few offer much to show for it once you're hired. After accepting an offer at Feedonomics a little over two years ago, I had a suspicion that they meant it just by the materials provided. But watching how the leadership has maintained that sense of company culture as we've doubled in size, adapted to a remote-first environment and went through an acquisition has been nothing short of impressive.
What this translates to while working here?
From day one I've found that no individual in any department, at any level of leadership (up to the CEO), has been anything less than happy to answer questions, provide guidance, or put some time on the calendar to chat through things if asked. Personalities we've got a lot of... Ego, on the other hand, is in short supply.
There's also a real openness to questioning the why of what we're doing. Anytime I've identified a process that could be more efficient, or seen areas where we could rethink our strategy on, leadership has always been open to discussion.
Also I've always felt supported by my direct management. I've worked in environments where being a high performer has meant management will assume they can just leave you be and you'll be fine. Effectively disappearing for long stretches of a time. Far from the case here.
At the end of the day, Feedonomics has built a wonderful team. And a common refrain from anyone who's worked here about what makes this place the best... the product, while fantastic, always ends up playing second fiddle to how amazing the team is.
Cons
In my current role, it can be a little overwhelming at times. This is less something I fault the organization for and has more to do with the challenges of finding the right talent for the open reqs we have on my team.
