Great team but concerns about management & company direction

Software engineer (core/oss)

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- An amazing team to work with - all my colleagues are super nice, friendly and smart - Product is used by many websites, so I know my work will make a real impact - Good company benefits: - Unlimited holiday with 15 days off required as minimum - Reimbursed equipment (e.g. laptop) - Tri-annual fully paid international meetups - Remote work is good for flexibility

Cons

- Not enough diversity at management level, leaving certain voices heard less than others (this is slowly improving) - I don't feel super well supported in working remotely, as it feels like US folks are more of a priority (partly due to above) - Questionable company direction - feels like marketing is more of a priority than the product itself - Decisions are often made behind closed doors, or without good opportunity for discussion afterwards - Questionable work/life balance - between 40 and 50 hours per week expected, and I see people on Slack late, plus sometimes on weekends

Pros

- Remote is ok for most people. I really appreciate being able to work from wherever I choose - There are a lot of fun problems to solve. Open source software is very fun to work on. - Interesting space. It seems like static sites are making a comeback and the technical challenges we face at Gatsby are involved and fun. - Great colleagues, I really enjoy working with most of them. I've made great friends working here.

Cons

- Remote work is not great for everyone. - The founders don't seem to me like they know what they are doing, and it feels to me like it causes a lot of chaos and disorganization. - The founders have made some decisions which felt ethically wrong to me. So I feel uncomfortable bringing my concerns to attention - It feels like the founders sometimes make decisions behind closed doors and push them down without much explanation - The product team could be a lot better
