Pros

Fast growth. Extremely strong business fundamentals, which is rare in this economy. Playing offense when everyone else is playing defense. Fast execution. Because of the first point, we realize the window of opportunity we have. The velocity that things get shipped across every team (product, eng, sales, marketing) is incredible. Fast learning. As a result of the first two points, you will learn a lot in your time here. There's no way you can't. There's too many good things happening.

Cons

The speed is not for everyone. You can see it in the other reviews too - it's true. This is a startup that's growing fast and in order to keep it that way, you yourself have to keep up. Does it mean this place is only for chidlless 20 somethings? Nope - lots of people here have families. But they are killers at their job so they know how to prioritize and GSD. The expectation here in terms of output and quality is very high. If this description scares you off or turns you off instead of motivates you - frankly, this is not the place for you. I don't mean that as a "we're better than you" sort of way - just that you should know what you're signing up for. This place has a unique culture of fast, fast fast.

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.
