Pros

1. Leadership and planning are super reasonable and actionable, the vision is clear 2. Always have important things to do, no time is wasted in politics 3. Keeping the management level in a minimum size is a good strategy 4. People here makes a lot sense: people are paying attention to the business growth rather than other superficial things

Cons

2 days per week is required to go back to office, but I don't see it would require more this year

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.
