Pros

* Great product/platform, the clear disruptor/innovator of its market space. * Very healthy company culture: no/little politics, no/little barriers, openness, diversity, anyone can reach out to anyone, anyone can be heard. * Lots of options for professional development/growth (many teams/departments which are constantly growing so opportunities open frequently). * The company has a very strong recruitment team/approach with a good and consistent track record of hiring the best talent they can. * Depends on the team/manager I guess but I get 0 micro management, I get a feeling of trust from my managers, I get total freedom to manage my time and tasks. * Very stable company (thanks to funding and large customer base). A good place to be at in these unpredictable times.

Cons

* (I guess it's a problem of every hyper growing SaaS start up) the speed and intensity of growth can be painful and very challenging. Plans/structures change every quarter or 2 and you need to be very adaptive and flexible in your mindset to survive and thrive in these conditions. * (probably another problem of every hyper growing start up) there is significant tech debt and a constant conflict between closing that debt (improving existing products/features, addressing existing customers' needs) and investing in growth - building more products/features/bells and whistles.

They're a non-public, start-up company, they had layoffs which is always scary.

Pros

Fully remote, flexible, and monthly stipends. Good pay.

Cons

Shady leadership. Tendency to hire employees for a specific reason only to dissolve their position once whatever project they forecasted for the employee is complete. I’ve seen it happen to multiple employees during my employment until it finally happened to me after a few years. Was advised by a former employee in leadership that I would more than likely be overloaded with work and worked out the door in some way because that was their trend. I didn’t believe it but it started happening to many people around me. I don’t trust these people and managers are very loose lipped, move sloppily, and doesn’t know how to not let secrets slip out. I knew my position was being dissolved from meetings I saw on my managers calendar. Luckily I started applying for jobs because I saw the writing on the walls. I had something else lined up but was still a bit blindsided because I was clearly communicating need for help to my leadership. Multiple interviews asking how I was doing and what I needed help with only for 3 days later to be told my position was no longer needed.
