On the right path, but still troubled

Pros

- Gatsby as a product is exceptional and exciting. - Being a fully remote and global team means that you get to work with a culturally diverse cohort. - Generally speaking, the people you work with are genuinely invested in the success of the company and will support your individual growth.

Cons

- Leadership experience is still mixed, with some executive level employees being under-qualified for their roles. At it's best, this is your standard startup/first-time founders issue. At it's worst, this has resulted in insensitive and immature behavior from some of the most senior members of the team. - Gatsby has seen high-turnover in the past couple of years, resulting in the loss of some very talented and influential team members. Those who left were disproportionately from underrepresented groups, including many, many female employees in management positions.

Pros

Working at Gatsby provided me with a lot of opportunity to grow my skills, work on new and interesting projects, and network with a lot of people working on cutting edge modern web technology. The technology Gatsby is producing is incredibly exciting, and there's a rush to being part of building the future of the modern web.

Cons

I joined Gatsby when it was a very young pre-revenue company and endured many of the growing pains of becoming a stable business. There were a lot of things that distracted from doing the job I was hired to do and there was limited support when it was needed most. By the time I left Gatsby, a lot of the "growing pains" of becoming a more mature company felt like they were getting smoothed out. There was a reduction in distractions and an increase in productivity, but I believe there will still be some friction in this area. If you've never worked for a startup, it could be a culture shock for you. For example, there are often responsibilities that don't have a specific person on staff to cover, so you might end up taking on work that you weren't hired for, while also needing to do what you were hired to do.

Pros

Gatsby has a wonderful culture. Everyone is brilliant, thoughtful, and highly collaborative. Over the past 6 months, product momentum has accelerated and so has customer growth. This is a really exciting time to join the company.

Cons

Gatsby is a distributed company with team members spread out across the world. This is a startup which means processes are still being built out there can be ambiguity at times, but that's also the fun of being in a startup.
