Great Place, Great People

Pros

People, location (for me at least, I live up north so its nice), pay, benefits, culture, mojo

Cons

we are moving from a traditional start-up to being more of an actual business. While I'm personally happy that my stock options will be worth something, some people forget that they have to come here to work instead of just play ping-pong and get free snacks.

A great, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

Pros

- Bigcommerce is more than just an online Ecommerce platform. Looking beyond the product, it actually contributes to the global economy and helps medium-sized retailers employ people. It's an incredible feeling knowing that I'm part of a much bigger picture, contributing back to the economy and to the livelihoods of business owners - Current CEO (Brent Bellm) is one of the best CEO's I've been led by. He is strategic, has strong business and technical acumen, is a selfless leader and also very humble, genuine and caring. He understands and appreciates the gravity and responsibility of the people he leads. - Ecommerce is a broad ecosystem (payments, shipping, tax, inventory, themes management, apps management, mobile or web product, etc) and there is a fun and rewarding sense of rising to the challenge to overcome it - Standard Bay Area company perks (free lunches and well-stocked drinks fridge, well-stocked pantry)

Cons

Sometimes we struggle from a lack of process. Luckily, folks are encouraged to create them.
