Pros
- Market fit: Number of paying customers is quickly growing. We're growing our teams as a result, so no risk of layoffs like other large tech companies right now. - Product: Clear product direction and vision from the co-founders and product leadership while also having ownership of the product strategy and vision for my team. - People: The people are really nice, smart, and committed. Leadership is really down-to-earth. - Culture: I haven’t experienced much ego here (unlike other companies I’ve worked for). Discussions are always focused on solving a problem and never about who is right/wrong. Happy hours every week. There’s a variety of funded clubs too which is fun (book, broadway, culture committee, to name a few.) Still at a small enough size that you feel like you can get to know everyone pretty well. Work/life balance is great.
Cons
- You won't make quite as much money here right away as you would at the big tech companies (like most startups), but the salary is competitive and stock options are great with a lot of future upside given we're Series A. - Still working out some kinks in development processes as we make necessary updates for a larger org.
