Pros

Love love love working at Threads. A ton of autonomy here and you can make immediate and meaningful impact while creating your own flexible schedules. You can bring your authentic, unique self to this inclusive, deeply caring and people first company and your voices will always be heard. Leadership is inspiring, empathetic, principled and forward thinking. Literally the nicest and smartest colleagues that you want to be friends with in real life when the only blocker is the pandemic. Company is young and growing and many thoughtful features are being built on a daily basis. Lots of actually fun, not awkward, not superficial team bonding events happen regularly. We work on a product we build and use every day so there is this, super efficient and simple feedback loop at all times. Great asynchronous work environment.

Cons

Unclear upward mobility and career paths, work/life balance can be challenging at times

Pros

Switching jobs in the middle of the pandemic was extremely stressful and daunting, but my experience interviewing with Threads put all of my fears at ease. Now having been at the company for almost a year, I can proudly say that Threads puts its employees first and I made the right decision to change companies last year. Pros: - Amazing colleagues that are supportive, even if you're not on the same team - Leadership is extremely transparent - Competitive compensation packages (including equity) - Great benefits, especially for a small company. 100% health insurance premium, dental and vision coverage, mental health stipend, work-from-home stipend, among others - Dedicated efforts to support the community against social injustice. - Value-based interview process - Flexible working hours. Outcomes prioritized, not the hours that one inputs. - Huge focus on team bonding, especially while remote, and will continue to have a distributed workforce. - Very few meetings compared to most companies. We use our asynchronous product internally, so have a lot of time to focus on our work. No zoom fatigue here!

Cons

- While not a con for me, moving fast might not be for everyone. We ship quickly and sometimes don't have the structure that someone from a larger company may be used to. However, there is a lot of autonomy to own your decisions and there is support if you are blocked.
