Pros

-Open office design where senior engineers sit directly next to new hires -Massive opportunities for growth and learning -All engineers are trained to be full-stack, but are given the opportunity to specialize in their preferred language/framework -Management cares deeply about their employees and is always investing time and money to keep us happy -The best HR team on the planet! Constantly planning fun events and keeping the office stocked with goodies!

Cons

Tightly packed office with music blasting. I love it, but don't apply here expecting a quiet, boring office!

Our People Team is the best there is - we are lucky to have them and not just b/c they take care of us on the food and event front, the investment we make in People Development is best in class. At our level of scale, it's all about great people focused on our goals, strategy and, ultimately, our mission. It certainly helps when, in your case, the CEO, CTO and CPO (all Founders) are sitting right there in the middle of the R&D team. You have access to senior engineers and the Execs at no more than a few seats away. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you are learning at steep rate. Have fun.

Pros

Great people below executive level that want to do their best work. Full remote work. Working with customers that actually make a difference in the world.

Cons

Hustle culture without the hustle pay. Way below market salary but executives expect top company output. Fear based. Executives pivot every week, if not multiple times a day and it creates immense thrash. CTO is completely disconnected from day to day work, talks in abstract most of the time, and when they do mention something about actual work, it's completely disconnected from the reality of people doing the work. Top talent has been steadily leaving the company. Process is whatever the executives decide that week. The current product is mediocre at best and most attempts from talented people to make it better either are ignored or when agreed upon, the rug gets pulled out from underneath a couple months later when the executives get cold feet. If you want to work at a company and make a difference, this is not the place to do it. Promotions and pay increases are non-existent unless you work 14+ hour days, amplify whatever the current executive flavor of the week is, and put your head down and just execute on someone else's poorly planned ideas. Everyone is pretty miserable currently and most people are only still there because the current job market is not great.

We're sorry aspects of your experience haven't reflected what we strive for, particularly around compensation and direction consistency. How pay aligns with expectations and how strategic shifts are communicated are concerns we want to understand better. We'd love to hear more; please reach out to your manager, the People Team, or any senior leader you're comfortable speaking with. -Housecall Pro People Team
