Pros

- product/Engineering team is massive and product is updated constantly - transparency is valued from leadership - pay is better than most - benefits are same as all similar companies - opinion is heard

Cons

- good place to fill a job but not have a career - ever increasing list of responsibilities and tasks with little focus on process improvements ("trade-offs") seem to be leaderships favorite word. - were NOT expert in OKRs even though that is the methodology they support. they were trying at the leadership level though. - collaboration within and between teams is a work in progress for a remote company - focused on product not customers - india and us based team work opposite schedules but expected to collaborate. early mornings or late nights for both office bases. - too many priorities from all teams. - customers are sold "white glove" service and expect it.

Pros

It's the perfect blend of challenging, motivating and rewarding. Since I started, I've had the ability to work with amazing talent while diving head first into a variety of exciting projects. The company lives what we preach, so OKRs are how we run our day-to-day. Everything is transparent. This means everything, the wins, the struggles, and the losses. We hold each other accountable and work cross functionally to support and directly impact annual and quarterly goals. We are one giant team, operating in smaller tactical groups to get things done quickly. It's about building a piece, or making even a small impact every day. As a team, we strive for continuous improvement. This is not at all negative, but instead periodic reflection to step back and validate the "why" behind what we do, and how we can make processes, meetings, projects, approaches and the product more efficient.

Cons

We are empowered to remain focused, but start up life breeds endless distractions, so walking the balance of what to spend your time on is a struggle everyone faces daily.
