Pros

This is one of the best companies I have worked for. It's definitely the best startup. * Founders have clear vision about the product. * The product has a positive social impact and we use it ourselves and improve it everyday. * Transparency, friendly working environment, caring about social causes, etc... These are a few aspects holding well as the company grows.

Cons

* Bay area office is in San Francisco. The company has very successful stories with in person collaboration when it was very small so we still push towards in office. Currently there is a plan to be in office two days a week. This can have some uncertainties for some people. * We are growing very fast. There can be lot of dynamics on organization change or product refocus. * Lot of pieces need a bit re-architecture to improve dev velocity. We have more people working on these but it will take some time.

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.
