Pros

Having both worked at Sonder during the formative years and more recently in 2 separate stints. I can say without a doubt that Sonder is a great place to work if you are an ambitious person who wants to make an impact in a company immediately. They supply you with all the tools to showcase your best self and they balance that with enough autonomy so you're not micro managed. You will meet some of the brightest people and generally everyone is fun to hang around. They have a nice facility and some pretty sweet perks like free lunch and beer nights.

Cons

Work-life balance is difficult to achieve but that's the nature of a business that is expanding so rapidly.

Pros

- There is an amazing gathering of incredible people. The company has done a great job at bringing in passionate, driven and talented people. - The flexibility to work in a way that works with and helps me fulfill my current responsibilities - I have been given the autonomy to make data-driven decisions. There is a great deal of trust in the organization, which holds each person accountable for their achievements and failures. - A culture of recognize wins, and using misses as stepping stones to constantly improving - nothing is stagnant. - There is a strong driver to try new things, be creative and learn - an acceptance that we are pioneers something into a new frontier of hospitality - There is a lot of transparency into inner workings of the company and performance of the organization. Each person is encouraged to speak up on any topic.

Cons

- Though there is a lot of work done to keep communication open, rapid growth and the ever changing environment do end up making communication challenging at times. - Work-life balance can be hard to find
