Pros

- Being a part of Firstbase's mission of democratizing access to essential business tools is an incredible opportunity to make the world a better place through the exciting work of building an industry leading product. It's hard to find both of these opportunities at the same company like Firstbase has. - Management is highly transparent, motivated, and kind, which creates an environment where leaders are leading by example rather than through demands. The CEO is passionate about the problem Firstbase is working on and actively encourages everyone at the company to get involved in contributing to the solution. - Compensation is highly competitive, as are benefits like monthly employee success stipends and all paid international company retreats twice a year. - The ability to take ownership of new ideas and their execution is highly encouraged and supported by management. This makes Firstbase a place where rapid growth is very possible. - Organization is structured with virtually no bureaucracy yet is able to operate effectively without unnecessary friction. The operations team is elite in how they keep so much complex work synced up. - From a product perspective, Firstbase is doing incredible job executing on existing products and building new ones at startup speeds while maintaining high quality. This goes a long way in enabling all departments in their work of building around the product catalog. - The collective energy of the company's employees as a whole is so unique and exciting. There's a ton of diversity across the organization, which makes for a very dynamic and well rounded culture where people are genuinely excited to work with each other.

Cons

- For those who need a highly established, narrowly defined, and constantly supervised role, Firstbase may not be the best fit. The company is, across the board, one where an ownership mindset is needed to be successful in the high quality and high speed work that's being done.

Pros

This company is one of the most fast-growing startups I've seen, the reputation and products Firstbase has built have changed how industries work. It's inspiring to work in such an innovative company and very few people know how massive the mission Firstbase is tackling. Excellent startup to join early.

Cons

As startups grow there are a lot of processes to create, this is a common issue in startups but it's a very good challenge, no cons at all.
