Pros

- Engineers are trusted to work on what they see as high-leverage and high-impact. Anyone can start anything. I haven't experienced any PM/ticket slop - Genuinely positive team, high spirits, really strong growth - Great comp and unlimited PTO (and people actually take it) - Adam is actually a great leader & CEO - Media team makes very hype videos, it's easy to get excited about the company - Plenty of runway

Cons

- It's too late to be in the first-few-employees window anymore. There's always something out there to be earlier at, but there's still plenty of room to grow - Our CI checks are kind of frustrating but this will likely be resolved soon

Pros

- mission-driven company and everyone is really motivated by it - incredibly high talent bar makes working with the team a joy - high trust environment; lots of autonomy

Cons

- lots of autonomy can mean really broad/vague projects. Awesome for some, not for others - quite a high workload

Pros

- Top-tier talent density, even relative to other well-regarded big tech firms - everyone here is really effective at getting things done and believes deeply in the company mission of helping small businesses succeed - Owner still has a long way to achieving its full growth potential, so still lots of equity upside to be had - Good work/high impact is well acknowledged and rewarded by leadership, especially with career growth opportunities - Great chance to grow your AI coding skills in a place that sees AI as a way to supercharge engineer capabilities rather than replace them

Cons

- Growing startup with high hiring standards means much more work to do than people to do it, so work can often get pretty intense. Not a place to rest and vest. - Working here is more of a long term bet. You could definitely make more $$ + liquid RSUs at a public company or a private one with buybacks, but if you believe the company will succeed within a decade, you’re joining early enough for your options to see significant gains. In the meantime, you gotta make do with the base salary.
