Pros

Success as a company is all about the people. The caliber of talent is head and shoulders above what I've experienced anywhere else in my 15+ year career - energy, curiosity, smarts, skills, collaboration, care, pace, accountability, gratitude - and everyone I've met completely understands how they add value to the org. Many startups will claim to care about career development, but at Owner, they practice a personal and professional lifestyle of learning/coaching/development at every turn and have clear milestones in place with respect to progression.

Cons

We move fast, we move with intent, we aren't afraid to make changes to make the business better/faster/stronger. That's not for everyone, so it's important that you know yourself and your capabilities.

Pros

High agency for engineers, talented ICs, and great leadership.

Cons

A lot of whiplash and fires to put out which is expected for a start up in growth phase. Systems need to be scaled, and infrastructure is being built to improve this.

Pros

- Top-tier talent density, even relative to other well-regarded big tech firms - everyone here is really effective at getting things done and believes deeply in the company mission of helping small businesses succeed - Owner still has a long way to achieving its full growth potential, so still lots of equity upside to be had - Good work/high impact is well acknowledged and rewarded by leadership, especially with career growth opportunities - Great chance to grow your AI coding skills in a place that sees AI as a way to supercharge engineer capabilities rather than replace them

Cons

- Growing startup with high hiring standards means much more work to do than people to do it, so work can often get pretty intense. Not a place to rest and vest. - Working here is more of a long term bet. You could definitely make more $$ + liquid RSUs at a public company or a private one with buybacks, but if you believe the company will succeed within a decade, you’re joining early enough for your options to see significant gains. In the meantime, you gotta make do with the base salary.
