Pros
- Excellent product team culture – encourages critical thought and questioning - Lots of autonomy, not much is micromanaged on the product team; there is freedom to fail and iterate - Generally flat hierarchy – you're able to talk to anyone in the company at any time. - You get to solve interesting problems here. The product sits in a good space that's just complex enough for interesting exploration and solution generation. - Honestly, the people here care about both the product and their colleagues.
Cons
- Work can get hectic – multiple feature development/releases can overlap at times. - You might be required to take on multiple projects at a time and context-switch between different scopes. - The design team is extremely lean, with fewer opportunities for learning and development

Pros
- Folks here are driven and passionate about the work they do. People are also highly collaborative and always ready to lend a helping hand when needed. - Truly a flat hierarchy. Huge focus on the wellbeing of makers and builders (designers and engineers) in the company. I'm given the autonomy to define the standards of my work and people on my team trust my capabilities. - Fair compensation and benefits. I feel valued. Not your typical startup with way too many smooth-talkers in C-suite and lowly-paid makers - Thoughtful managers who champion the best interests of their reportees - I think the executive team tries their best, under very difficult circumstances as a result of the pandemic. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and heart put into trying to be as transparent as possible with the rest of the company. - Driven founders. Scaling a startup is no easy feat and I respect the founders for their resilience and tenacity. - The company makes an effort to show care for our mental health. We now have a company-wide off-day every first Monday of the month, just for employees to rest and recharge.
Cons
- Like any other startup, job scope can sometimes evolve over a short period of time. Wearing multiple hats can be a pro or con depending on the person. Definitely an opportunity for exponential growth. - The company took quite a hit during the pandemic in 2020 and went through some restructuring, which affected the morale of various teams. Some rebuilding is required for core function members who have since left, leaving huge gaps to fill.
