Pros
I came to Figma from one of those big unicorns, which was really a dream job experience. I had been on a rocket with that company and hit my ceiling faster than I anticipated. I decided to stay on but keep my ears open as VCs presented startup opportunities. I met with maybe a dozen startups and nothing felt right. Figma has a warm feel to it. I've heard it stated numerous times. People are friendly. I love the every 2 weeks happy hours. The rooftop. Being in downtown SF. We're on an amazing financial trajectory. Product/market fit. The product is really cool. We use it for building presentation decks and Figma cards on the daily. Fun company activities, team activities. Plus on this trajectory your job naturally grows very quickly. Did I mention dog friendly, good food, family and friends are always welcome, and the office is gorgeous?
Cons
The only thing I've really struggled with is the constant and rigorous prioritization that comes with scaling a startup quickly. The business demands you constantly do more and more and more, which is more and more possible as your team grows. In the meantime I find that time management skills come in super handy.
