Pros

- People & Culture: We set a high bar for hiring. Not only do we want smart/hard-working team members, but we want folks that are low-ego and easy to work with. It's a breath of fresh air. - Leadership: Smart, metrics driven, etc... typical for startups, but two things set them apart - 1. A strong vision for where we're headed and 2. They're humble and open to feedback, which trickles down to the rest of the company - Opportunity: We're not just about compliance anymore and the direction we're headed is extremely exciting. This means lots of growth opportunities within.

Cons

Growing too quickly has some downsides. The good news is that we're shoring up those gaps so that we can continue to grow at a rapid pace.

Pros

The people are the strongest part of the company. I’ve worked with talented, supportive teammates across product, sales, marketing, and design who genuinely care about solving difficult problems for customers. The mission is meaningful, and there are opportunities to work on products that have real-world impact. The pace is fast, which can be exciting if you enjoy building quickly and wearing multiple hats. There is also plenty of room to grow and take on responsibility if you’re proactive.

Cons

The company has grown quickly, and it sometimes feels like the organization hasn’t fully caught up. Priorities shift frequently, which can make long-term planning difficult and leave teams feeling reactive instead of strategic. Workloads can be heavy, and sustained urgency has led to burnout in parts of the organization. Communication between leadership and teams could be more consistent, especially around the reasoning behind major decisions and organizational changes.
