Pros

Hex has honestly exceeded all of my expectations. I feel like I'm running full speed (in the best way possible). People genuinely want to hear my ideas, collaborate with me, and see the value in working together as a team. We're moving fast and have big goals to hit, but we take the time to really foster the most human aspects of work. People eat lunch together here, we have team colos and offsites for collaboration, we each get to customize a piece of Hex swag, and you get to work alongside some of the most low ego and down to earth (but wicked smart) people you'll get the privilege of working with. NOT a 9-9-6 model. I genuinely enjoy coming to work each day and feel this is the exact environment that encourages me to do my best work. Leadership trusts you to do great work, very non-political organization, and not a lot of hierarchy. Set up to really focus your time and energy on impact and doing meaningful work Also have heavily invested in talent, people and enablement to ensure we can maintain a high bar while also hiring fast at scale, that we're compensated competitively, have the right systems and programs in place to support a rapidly growing org, and people feel valued here.

Cons

We're regularly rolling out new products & have big revenue milestones we're marching towards - to be expected at a startup but you need to be excited by the work we're doing, high agency, and enjoy failing forward to be successful here People are very cool here and so uniquely themselves - I regularly feel quite basic (lol)

Pros

- Individual engineers have a lot of autonomy and influence on features/roadmap. If you have high conviction about something and there's evidence customers want it, just prototype it. If it's clearly useful, we'll probably ship it. - Customers LOVE the product, which feels good and makes you more excited to work on things. - EPD (eng, product, design) org is super AI-pilled but still holds a high quality bar, which is the best of both worlds in the current moment. - Truly some of the smartest, yet humblest people I've ever worked with. - Few meetings, very little BS, politicking, or hierarchy. - Comp is high given company size, and impactful contributions are recognized.

Cons

- Cross-team collaboration could be a little better at times. Sometimes I feel teams have missed opportunities to build off of each other's work. We're getting better about this over time though. - Must have pretty high agency to succeed here. - There are a lot of unknowns in the industry right now: what workflows will stick? Which SaaS products will own what? The uncertainty has at times meant large (but warranted) shifts in company prioritization and team arrangements. This rewards individuals who are flexible, but would probably be uncomfortable for folks with one preferred focus area or who prefer not to change teams often.
