Pros

I've never worked somewhere with such fun branding and that cares so much about the customers all across the organization from engineering to product to support to C-suite. It really feels like we are on the precipice of building something huge. As a bonus, I get to work with some of the best people - my colleagues are so talented and smart, I learn so much from them every day.

Cons

It is a startup, and it is very fast-paced and priorities shift often.

Pros

- Clear sense of direction about where the company is headed - Highly skilled and very smart teammates across all functions - Fast moving and demanding but in a way that is sustainable - Very strategic but also user centric approach to product development meaning that you can see the impact of your work in a short amount of time most of the time

Cons

- Being a startup, it's always very fast paced which can be unsettling for some - There's very little room for technical experimentation unless it completely aligns with product priorities

Pros

Fast-paced startup environment with a talented team and lots of interesting projects. People are collaborative and care about what they’re building.

Cons

Like most startups, priorities can change quickly, so you need to be comfortable figuring things out as you go. Sometimes there are long days, especially around launches or big projects.
