Pros

Notion is far and away the best place I've worked! I am genuinely excited to go into work each day 🙂. + Notinos are deeply passionate, ambitious, caring and empathetic, ranging from diverse backgrounds. + Notion has delivered an amazing product with a high quality bar, loved by the community, with really cool impact every day. + There are lots of interesting challenges in the engineering space: complex product & code & design tradeoffs to tackle. + Notion has an incredible company culture, environment & people teams, and company events. + Notion has fantastic benefits, equity, pay, etc.

Cons

- Notion (like many startups) is not for everyone -- expect to wear lots of hats and step up often in an extremely fast-paced environment. - There's occasional product & design thrash from lots of opinionated, passionate people -- which leads to some friction.

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.
