Pros

If you want to work on some really interesting problems you wouldn't normally encounter that also have the potential to leave a big lasting impact then this is definitely a good place to be. There are some really interesting problems to solve at this stage of the company and all the work we're doing has huge impacts on the product and will continue to have an impact well into the life of the company. Everyone is affable and trying to pull each other up, which is a great environment to be in. It feels truly collaborative here. It's fully remote yet I don't feel a distance to my team at all with all the emphasis put on culture and team building. That said, I am excited at the prospect of more company-sponsored in-person work weeks where the globally spread team gets together to work side-by-side. Management is very receptive and responsive to feedback when it comes to company culture and the product.

Cons

Being remote and spread around the globe can mean there are often tons of video meetings in blocks, which can certainly feel like a drain on your own velocity. And can be mentally draining depending on the kind of person you are. The block of meetings can potentially take place at fairly awkward times depending on your timezone.

Pros

- Meetings are very efficient and there are not too many - Super talented people working here - Pay is good - Company is remote and is very intentional about defining the best practices for remote work - Lots of very cool problems to solve - Huge potential for growth and revenue and it seems like the company is focused enough to achieve it

Cons

- Some tech debt that will need to be addressed in order for the product to scale, but I have seen much worse before, so I'm not really worried about it - You get right into work as a new joiner, which can be a bit intimidating considering the complexity of the product

Pros

This is the only company I've worked where people were actually caring, a lot of companies talk about it but usually it is just a shallow veneer. The work here is rewarding - we have a clear goal all are striving to meet as one. Engineering and the company at-large continues to iterate on processes as we grow to focus not only on productivity but developer happiness and health.

Cons

We have to be selective in what we get done until we hire more people, working on it though!
