Wonderful Company, Terrific Mission - Engineering Manager GoFundMe Employee Review

Pros

Awesomeness abounds! Working on a product that legitimately helps people is super cool. Also, we seem to be a rare case where the company's (and investors) desire to grow and become bigger aligns well with our goal of continually improving the platforms ability to help people. As the company grows it continues to hire really smart people who are also empathetic and sensitive to the user base. I'm working with some of the smartest people in my 10 years of startup experience and they're *nice*, too.

Cons

There are high expectations for everyone at the company. Not a good place to come if you're looking to coast.

Pros

- Lots of opportunities to learn and grow - Getting to use my skills towards efforts that help everyday people - Leadership is very receptive to engineering, and ensuring that we have a good work/life balance - Grassroots AI adoption, allowing teams to explore and prove out new workflows based on our pain points. This enables teams to learn the how and why around using these tools, and gives an opportunity to share those learnings with other teams - Empathetic and evidence-based AI adoption, with a healthy dose of skepticism to ensure we're making the right choices - The amount of extremely smart and skilled people spread across teams means that there's always something I can learn from just about any interaction

Cons

- The downside of grassroots AI adoption is that some teams leverage the tool differently than others, or different stacks entirely - With the number of initiatives executed in parallel, it can be easy to get lost in the work
