Pros

There are a lot of reasons to love working here, but here are a few: - Incredible colleagues, who are both very talented and very humble. People are very interested in helping each other out, collaborating, etc. And they're also super chill. - Very high degree of transparency across just about everything, except the most sensitive of matters like compensation - Strong focus on personal and professional growth, including a very active internal mentorship program, where many people seek to learn skills outside of their function (or within it) from other employees - Great perks and benefits, including yoga classes multiple times every weekday, completely covered health insurance, very generous parental leave, untracked PTO, etc - Culinary team that cooks 3 meals a day for us 5 days a week (except dinner on Fridays). Delicious, healthy food, that's well-sourced. - Strong emphasis on work/life balance, and taking a good amount of vacation time, which the cofounders both advocate for. I work on the Data Science team, whose mission is to generally support almost all teams across the org to help them make better decisions and to inform their direction. We want to understand our userbase and product usage so that we can help people be more successful and continue to lower the friction. Because overall our company goal is to enable humanity to be collectively more efficient in its collaborative efforts by making it effortless to organize and execute on their work. If we can make people 20%, or 40% more efficient, we can collectively accomplish a much greater amount.

Cons

There definitely are times where it feels like we're moving more slowly than I would like, though it's hard to find balance between moving quickly and moving thoughtfully towards the right solution.

Pros

There's real enduring culture where people care about doing really good work. The culture is friendly with strong camaraderie amongst the individual employees, and managers try to do right by their reports.

Cons

Quarterly reorgs, quiet role reductions, and slowly stripping away benefits has made morale worse than ever. It may have been worthwhile if the business was getting better, but it's pretty flat and attrition is very high. With the introduction of the new CEO, Dan Rogers, there's been a clear shift to hard capitalism and people as numbers. Problems have been solved in short-sighted ways, causing discontent even within the leadership ranks. The company was losing some steam beforehand, but now it's "a ship trying to make a sharp turn and keeling over, just barely not capsizing".
