Pros

A friendly and collaborative team, 100% remote, location-agnostic pay, and lots of opportunities to share your ideas and to make an impact on the culture.

Cons

It's an early stage startup, so it's not for the risk-adverse.

Pros

- everything open source === awesome sauce - CEO is very technical - modern and clean codebase - high coding quality standards - inspiring and kind coworkers - incredible high trust in senior and executive leadership - excellent health insurance for US employees

Cons

- DE&I could be improved, but we're working on it - no 401K or home office stipend etc., mostly bc we're young and hyper focused on hiring now - the pace can sometimes feel slow compared to a startup that has their blinders on hockey-stick growth above all else

Pros

- Minimal meetings per week (usually ~2 hours per week) and plenty of time for deep work. The meetings that do take place are structured and efficient, using Parabol's own tool! - Async-first way of working so you can engage when it works for you. Helpful with the spread of timezones. - Company encourages working at a sustainable and manageable pace over hustle culture and all-nighters - Self-directed work and a lot of autonomy to push forward in the areas that make most sense to you - Kind, caring, and thoughtful colleagues. I don’t think I ever worked in a company before where people were so empathetic with one another - Culture of genuine continuous improvement - Everyone has a chance to shape the direction of the company through democratic decision-making processes - Mission-driven team. Everyone wants to make meetings better and solve a real problem. - Colleagues are generous with their time and feedback to help improve your work - Location agnostic pay and clear career progression without lobbying or annual performance reviews

Cons

The company is still young, which means many policies are being created for the first time (e.g. D&I, equipment policy, public holidays, etc), so there is sometimes a bit of ambiguity. On the flip side, everyone has the opportunity to propose, amend, or shape new or existing policies, so if there’s tension around an issue, you are empowered to take it into your own hands and propose a solution.
