Pros

- The product is great, and there is a pretty clear vision of where we are going with it. - Everyone is very talented and easy to work with. - Nice hybrid culture, with a lot of flexibility if you need to work remotely for a while, but the stronger sense of community that comes from working in an office. - Huge TAM, and the real possibility that Retool could become a major part of how software is developed.

Cons

- Some ups and downs with company growth from quarter to quarter, even if it smooths out favorably over time. - Rapid feature growth in past years, but we have a harder time supporting what we've built. Customers can become frustrated with the bugs,

Pros

Startup, you have ability to make an impact if everything aligns. If you're mid to senior level, I guess you'll land at some of the well known Series C+ AI startups.

Cons

Before I even started, there was a bait and switch: I applied and interviewed for a Director level role. I went through countless interviews, projects, presentations, got the offer, and when it was less than expected, I was then told it was down leveled. I should have walked away there but the process took way longer than others and I already declined another offer (regret). So I started, and high pressue and little support from the start. I was handed a half baked "dog food" tool for reporting, against all the standards in my role. My manager was stretched thin, and that showed with... again, severe lack of support and coverage from lateral teams and stakeholders, equally stressed from whatever pressure they were under.
