Pros

Mailgun has taught me how to setup teams for success. Their focus is on products and removing barriers for teams to execute on a successful product. Which is just a enterprise way of saying we do what we want to make our product successful. Seriously, we get to choose if we want to do scrum, or kanban, or just developer anarchy; provided we deliver a quality product. We get to choose our tasks, we own the data in the databases, we don't have heavy processes and we have a focus on avoiding technical debt. If we have to push back a product or feature release to avoid taking on a ton of technical debit we will. This means our overall technical debit is low, and changes to the system happen much faster than most people are used to. We also deploy constantly, and have great contextual logging and metrics.

Cons

Things move really fast internally, keeping up with everything is tough, and we don't have a good culture of documentation. With our company moving to remote, I'm sure this will change but if you are an developer that doesn't actively engage it's easy to get lost and disconnected quickly. If you are not afraid to engage in slack and setup zoom meetings as needed, you will do fine. Everyone gets along very well, they do a good job of hiring people who fit the culture, you just have to engage to keep on top of things. (Put another way, if you don't say anything in chat for a week people assume you are heads down and working, they won't bother you with updates on what is going on, but they still expect to see results)

Pros

Mailgun is a great company to work for. There is a great work/life balance, you feel appreciated by leadership, and the work is satisfying. The PTO plan is also amazing.

Cons

It could be that career advancement might be slow, but you have to put in the effort for it.

Pros

Great product market fit with a strong offering in a competitive niche

Cons

Sales leadership has since changed, but 0% of reps hit quota (and it seemed to be designed this way to underpay reps)
