Pros

- There is a ton of growth! Yes that means some growing pains and fast pace but there it also means tons of opportunity. If you're the kind of person who likes new challenges there are plenty of ways to grow your career here. The growth also means the company is investing in a lot of new tools and technologies that you wouldn't get to work with at a stable or shrinking company. - The product and what the company stands for (self discovery) is super interesting and always a conversation starter at cocktail parties. - The people are the kind of people you want to be in the trenches with when the hard stuff comes up. They will have your back and are always down for a good laugh.

Cons

- Limited engineering resources to get new projects going. Lots of changes to product agile process have made things confusing - Quantity of work can be a bit overwhelming if you're not good at prioritizing or setting boundaries. - Stock options only for most senior people

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
