Pros

- Work on a product that I love using (and has a lot of user love and engagement) - People are extremely fun and smart - In-office culture is a plus (for me) and I love coming in to work every day - Problems are interesting and challenging both from a product and technical level - I have a lot of faith in management that we'll continue to be successful - Amazing perks and benefits. Constantly activities going on and free food to take home from the office!

Cons

- It can be a chaotic place to work at times, we are "truthseekers" which means that you may have to deal with a lot of feedback on product or churn on your designs or feature - Had some recent staff churn. Ivan is a very engaged CEO but he cares a ton about the details and the product. It can burn some people out around him, but he's the most talented and caring CEO I've ever worked with.

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.
