Pros

Compensation and benefits are really good, the people below executive leadership level are mostly awesome (although their numbers are diminishing), the company events are super slick.

Cons

2 years ago an executive leadership team was brought in and broke the beautiful bubble that was Chain. In my opinion they have slowly but consistently ruined everything good about the company. From creating silos that terminated all meaningful collaboration and cross team working, to failing at internal communications, killing the mission oriented work culture, the ability to even work out how to get simple decisions made without asking 28 people only to give up without a result, the ability to make any difference to the product vanished. It’s pretty much impossible to establish what they want you to achieve in the next two quarters in order to demonstrate success unless you have a sales target. The sexism - rife at every level. Bro Executive leadership has a lot to answer for, it feels like they’ve seized control from the founders who used to be such motivational visionaries and now seem tapped out. Product Marketing trying to make the Tech sound good instead of understanding what the customer needs.

Cons

-Operates in silos — product and GTM roadmaps and requirements are disjointed. -Roadmap and vision shift frequently, making it hard to sell a consistent story to customers or plan beyond a quarter

Pros

The product itself is impressive, it's the kind of work you can feel proud of. Beyond that, the company makes a real effort to keep the team connected. Even though we're fully remote, there are regular opportunities to get together in person, which goes a long way toward building real relationships with your colleagues.

Cons

Things can change quickly — priorities, processes, even team structures. It can be a lot to keep up with at times. That said, it's hard to hold it against the company given how fast the industry moves. It's really just the nature of operating in such a dynamic space and I think that it can be exciting honeslt .
