Pros

- Extremely smart people - Company seems genuinely _good_: founders are generous and kind, employees get money to donate. Good deeds feel genuine (not token/for show). - Everyone uses Notion daily and cares deeply about the product. - I really like that everyone goes into the office. The sense of camaraderie is great. - Employees are well taken care of -- lunch is provided, and the snack game is on point. - The product feels like a net positive for the world. - Fast paced (in a good way -- people here care about their craft and want to better themselves). - Comp second only to a select few quant firms

Cons

I like the office-first culture, but this probably isn't the company for you if you prefer remote work.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We are thrilled to read the long list of pros. As you mentioned, Notion's in person culture may not be a fit for everyone. We believe in the magic that is sparked by in person conversations and collaboration, and that it is a key ingredient to our ability to move fast in this market.

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.
