Pros

Firstbase is a wonderful company whose mission resonated with me. They had unlimited PTO, flexible schedule, considerate of family matters, exciting, 401k match, and much more.

Cons

Firstbase is a start-up so it is not as organized as I am used to. Priorities shift often. They did not have an annual review process set up (though they were in process).

Scrappy startup with a unique business and high potential

Business Outlook

Pros

A ton of potential for growth - still early stages Leadership team bringing in more structure and process slowly but surely (keep in mind that Rome wasn’t build in a day) CEO with growth mindset and eager to learn from others Cool customer logos and and early adopters - more coming in every day Everyone is always happy to help each other out - wasn’t always the case a few months ago

Cons

Very scrappy and lots processes yet to be defined (which can be interesting for some people but also not for everyone) We need more process-oriented people who can help us get more organized
