Pros

- Notion is building an inclusive and cozy environment. People feel belonging and care each other very much. Everyone is wiling to share and help others with anything they know. - The engineering group is growing fast, and there are tons of interesting challenges to tackle. We are moving fast. We split the work into small tasks so that we can finish it in days, and usually a PR can be done within 1~2 days. - The founders are humble and know the product very well. They have a clear vision of the product and the strategy to achieve the company's goal.

Cons

- We are still small, and there are a lot of challenges we need to figure out how to do it. Many times we will have to define processes, find solutions by learning while working in full speed.

Pros

There’s an actual (free) coffee shop in the office, the workspace is beautiful, and the pay is highly competitive. For the most part, you’re working with really smart colleagues, which is great. Plus, the tool itself is widely used and loved, and it actually makes your day-to-day job a lot easier when it's running smoothly.

Cons

The high turnover here is pretty exhausting, and it feels like people are constantly leaving. Communication from management is also really stressful—there’s almost no heads-up or clear feedback if someone needs to improve, so people and even managers just get blindsided by sudden PIPs or getting let go. Roadmaps change constantly, too. While the All Hands meetings are super inspiring, they usually just spiral into management shifting direction completely and forcing you into another crazy, unrealistic deadline. On top of all that, the tool itself runs pretty slow on the production side, which just adds to the daily frustration.
