      Focus on consensus can sometimes slow progress Young but burgeoning infrastructure means there are still critical systems that still need to be built

      Leadership that trusts their employees

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Autonomy in how to work gets done - Smart, collaborative, fun people - Leadership cares about the people, has been incredibly supportive of time off and life balance during COVID.

      Cons

      - Huge pay bands and very difficult to move up within one regardless of impact - make sure you negotiate aggressively at sign on, it might be your only real opportunity to for years. - Cross team collaboration can be hard to get organized/prioritized.

      A great place to learn how maturing Saas startups operate.

      Pros

      Great coworkers. Leadership open to experimentation and feedback. Relatively transparent with exec decision making. Fantastic benefits. Reimbursement for professional development is helpful. Flexible PTO scheduling with enough advanced notice. Generous COVID-19 support for employees, especially folks with children. In the past two years, company has shed a LOT of the startup culture shticks. An culture that encourages and rewards employees who excel at interdepartmental and external collaboration.

      Cons

      If you are uncomfortable with change to organization policies (mostly to accommodate rapidly changing global health, social,economic or political climate), this might be a challenging work environment, at least for the first little while.
