Pros

I joined this company about 2 years ago and I was a bit skeptical given the early stage of it, and how small the company was. Best choice I have made in my career. This company is on a tear. Since I joined, I think we have grown 4x every year? Its crazy. I love it. Love the energy and the people. More so I love being an important part of an important company with a compelling vision and a great mission. Lower the cost of living for all mankind. It resonates with me. I am very happy with my decision to join.

Cons

Its hard work for sure like any startup that is growing 4x per year I would say. I would not expect a 9-5. For me, I get energized by it though. I am excited for the chance to build a company and a product that is a category defining company.

Pros

I’ve been with Focal for close to 3.5 years now. The growth and self-awareness of this company is something to admire. We know what we’re good at, and work diligently to improve in areas we are lacking. The benefits are great, we’re given adequate PTO, and the equity shows great potential. Every member of the leadership team has proven themselves to be high output all the time. A very tireless team. This is the company I hope to retire from.

Cons

If you’re not intrinsically motivated and thick skinned then you will not survive at this company. Your mistakes will be brought to light, but you won’t be chastised; only expected to grow.
