Pros

Intelligent, driven leadership that values getting things done over bureaucracy and red tape. Good benefits and remote work culture. Be very aware that this is a work environment for self-starters. You will fail if you're a person who needs things spelled out for you, very clear goals/definitions, and to be told what to do each day. If you're a person who is a "doer" and comfortable reaching out to get what you need to do your job, you'll likely succeed and enjoy working here.

Cons

Specific to recruiting - it's unique that recruiting reports to Legal here. Haven't seen anything negative come from it, but I do feel we're undervalued without reporting to a Chief People Officer who can advocate for the value of recruiting as a business partner. It's also clear our current legal leader has no clue the job challenges, hurdles we face (naturally), and therefore cannot empathize/provide encouragement/resources etc.

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.
