The company prioritizes getting together not just to work, but hang out and remember that we're a team first. - The company is genuinely leaning into AI in a practical way. It’s built into how people work day-to-day, which makes it a great environment to learn and stay current. - You get to work with genuinely great people. Everyone brings something valuable, and the team dynamic is strong.

It’s a startup environment, which means things can move fast and require a lot of effort. That said, it’s also what makes the work exciting and gives you the chance to have a meaningful impact.

I've learned and grown more in my short tenure here than in a decade at larger companies. Our team is able to make immediate revenue impact with our work, which is very rewarding. It's very helpful to be a quick slack message or in-person chat away from moving actual mountains. A very lean and fast paced environment. It's really nice to come up with an idea or best practice for Disco where it's heard, discussed, debated, and then executed. My coworkers are the smartest people i've ever worked with.

This does not come without its stresses. There's always a big push to improve upon our product or solution here at Disco. There have been a lot of organizational changes in my time here, and they were quite jarring. Work life balance isn't perfect, but it's getting better. As everyone else has said, comes with the territory. So far the pros outweigh the cons.
