Pros

From the day I started at Notion I knew I'd made a good choice - the company is such an impressive assemblage of passionate, smart, kind, collaborative people, who are both extremely invested in building Notion's product vision as well as a sustainable company. Since I've been here I've had easy and direct access to executive staff members who have always made me feel safe and heard. I've had the ability to work on problems that are interesting and challenging to me up and down the technical/product stack. I genuinely enjoy my team and coworkers and the vision towards which Notion is building.

Cons

Notion is in hypergrowth, and as such, has some of the standard problems that come along with it - processes, especially around product development, that are either too light from when the company was smaller, or too heavy for where the company wants to be.

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.
