I have been working at Patreon full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The mission feels good, we write software so that people can turn their dreams into a decent living, What we make really matters to our users.
If ever a personal/family matter has arisen, Patreon's accommodated it with utmost flexibility.
We've received a level of autonomy in how we work and what we work on. If you've got ideas people generally want to hear them.
Compensation is good and getting better. As Patreon Dublin becomes more firmly established I trust its package will develop to compete with the best.
It's fun. You could feel the atmosphere when people met in person when pandemic restrictions eased. We're beginning to hold more on-line/in-person events so that everyone can gel more.
The team struck me as being kind, experienced and great at what they do. Excited to see what happens when we are all in the same building.
Cons
In April, some people were let go. That was quite damaging for morale. As far as I'm aware of it was beyond the control of anyone in the Dublin office.
The compensation package in Dublin is missing pension matching right now. But there is an effort to fill that gap.
I think we'll face challenges in scaling and improving our infrastructure. The tooling can be a bit rough around the edges, but we're working to step it up a notch.
We are dependent on San Francisco in some of our routine tasks which can delay things. Also important meetings can be held outside Dublins regular working hours.
Advice to Management
Invest more in culture and team events. You've done a good job so far but let's go the extra mile in this to solidify it in our culture.
Please sort out pension matching as soon as possible.
Keep growing Dublin so that we aren't so tied to SF Office.
