Pros
The Comfy team is a beautiful and intelligent group who care about people and the environment and how their work can facilitate the adoption of an epic new technology. We have a sweet newly renovated office in dead-center downtown Oakland. - The Fox Theatre and my gym are blocks away, along with lots of great food options. (Our office has the Comfy app as you might imagine working at peak performance) I get lunch with co-workers often. We have stand-up desks (movable). Communal lunch is ordered approximately 1 day a week. While people work really hard, I feel that we all hope that each other are reaching equitable balance between work, family, friends, and other things that make us happy. The team is super smart, collaborative, and open about problems within the org. We take it as a given as a growing company that holes will come up, "so how do we design solutions?" We're on the leading edge of a market that finally understands that what we've created is needed - with a product that is better and more user-focused than anyone else and a dev team that knows their s#!t. We have a rock climbing slack channel and an active music channel.
Cons
There have been so many changes in the past 4 months since I started which has lead to quite a bit of uncertainty for where the company is going. Saying this, I love rollercoasters and Andrew, our CEO, has been as transparent as possible with bi-weekly all-hands about funding, people leaving or starting, etc. You have to be willing to move with the punches and be optimistic like you would be in most start-ups these days. It has been a slow process getting the tools I need to run an efficient SDR process. I think this will change in the coming months.
