Pros

First off, this is the best company I've ever worked at. The team is fantastic. We all have our strengths, but what I love most is that there is active searching for weak spots, and continuous improvements - both in our underlying platforms and in our day-to-day processes. I personally have never had any drama or office politics to worry about. The co-founders are down-to-earth, easy to talk with (open door, and transparent). I have had some difficulties in my life outside of work, and they have fully supported me and been accommodating. The market we're serving is huge and fragmented, and we have a great position to capture a larger part of it. There are lots of opportunities for career growth. Multiple product pathways, lets you work on a variety of technology. Pretty good work-life-balance. Getting better all the time as we grow and train up more engineers to share the load. Catered lunch everyday - good food / for you.

Cons

No 401k matching. No spare hours in engineering teams to indulge in personal growth outside of your specialty. We have a great team of engineers, and with slightly more time we could share more of our thoughts with the industry, as well as contribute to open source initiatives.

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.
