Pros
Deeply collaborative environment that is rooted in transparency and genuine enablement. I feel heard at Retool. I'm expected and encouraged to have an opinion and nobody at the company is uber protective of their domains. Everyone has a vested interest to grow the company, and help others grow alongside it. I believe Retool cares about, and invests in my growth as an individual. Opportunity to wear several hats and optimize for learning in a genuine way that encourages more meaningful impact. The pace of the environment matches the pace of our business growth rate, a rarity in startup world! It's exciting to be a part of a successful company at this point of its history. High caliber peer set. I think we've done a good job of hiring fantastic individuals/teams/individuals, which makes it easier to bring my best self to work every day. Often times, it doesn't feel like work! This isn't the first startup I've worked at, but it's definitely the startup that I've had the most fun at. I can choose my own snacks? AWESOME.
Cons
We're not immune to growing pains, like any other startup out there, but I think our leadership team has done a good job of being proactive to growing pains as we scale. Benefits are great, but there's more to want for (though I suspect perks and benefits to continue to improve at a consistent pace).
