Product-driven company and People-focused culture
Pros
- Highly people-focused culture, particularly for an early-stage company. We've invested in building intentional and inclusive processes earlier than most companies, both on the people operations and recruiting side -- such as parental leave, performance reviews, structured interviewing, and health and wellness programs. - Truly diverse company, in most senses of the word (gender/GNC, BIPOC, experience-level, and so on). It's important to us that our team is actually representative, not just representative of the tech community. - Clear product-market fit and a tangible problem space to tackle. Our early success and traction has allowed us to grow significantly and rapidly (largely on our own means) within an industry that has endless potential. - Opportunity to significantly impact the company trajectory in your role and even outside of your team. - Meaningful company values, encouraging ownership, open-mindedness, empathy, and a "customer/business-first" mindset from each team.
Cons
"Moving quickly" isn't just a start-up badge of honor here -- it's the reality. Expectations can shift, and the expectation is that employees are nimble in adjusting to those expectations. Fairly expected challenges of a growing-company.
