Pros

- Some of the brightest engineers I have ever worked with - Everyone is motivated and loves solving problems - Fully remote company - Lots of great benefits - Great work/life balance

Cons

- Fully remote can have its challenges. The social connection aspect can be harder to maintain. We have virtual meetups, game nights, etc, but we need to do more in-person hangouts. - Roadmap confusion at the c-level. We have a north star, but when you get down to specifics, different folks have different priorities and the c-level isn't always in alignment with itself.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and the kind words about our team and culture. We're thrilled to hear that you've enjoyed working with some of the brightest engineers in the industry and that our fully remote environment has supported a great work/life balance for you. Regarding your point on the social connection aspect, we appreciate you highlighting this challenge. While remote work has its advantages, we recognize that maintaining meaningful connections is crucial. In addition to our virtual meetups and game nights, we’ve been actively working on fostering connections at the team and function levels through off-sites. We’re also creating more location-based opportunities through Crew Connections, where employees can meet up in smaller groups based on their geographic area. We hope these initiatives will continue to build stronger bonds across the company. Your feedback on the roadmap is also valuable, and we continuously work to ensure better alignment through our EOS model including accountability org charts, quarterly rocks, and monthly all-company meetings. We’re committed to improving communication and clarity around our priorities to make sure that everyone is aligned and moving in the same direction. Thanks again for sharing your insights! We appreciate your continued dedication and are glad to have you as part of the team.
