Pros

The managers here actually take the time to coach, which has been extremely helpful for me. You can tell they care about people’s growth. The office has a good energy overall, and I get to work with really smart, motivated teammates. It also feels good to be part of a company that’s growing fast. The product is solid and genuinely helps restaurant owners, so I feel confident and happy talking about it.

Cons

I’ve seen a couple of XDRs move up into AE roles since I’ve been here, but it doesn’t seem to be a regular thing. One thing that feels a little unusual is that managers encourage the whole team to start the day with group meditation. I find it a bit awkward doing that with coworkers to be honest. It kind of gives off a worhshipy kind of vibe. The hours are also long. If you’ve got a demo to hand off to an AE first thing in the morning or later in the evening (especially with PST leads), you might end up staying in the office way outside of regular working hours, especially at the end of the month.

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.
