Pros

- The company is growing, but still small enough that it feels like your voice matters. - For most positions, you can work toward what your passion is. I have worked in both the Quality Assurance and Technical Writing departments, and my work is in-line with what interests me as much as is practical. - There's an amazing atmosphere. You're free to be who you are and still interact with everyone around. - Typical benefits of a tech startup... lunches, coffee, snacks, ping-pong (I don't think you're allowed to be a startup without a ping-pong table), health insurance is incredible, dental and vision is good, too. - I always felt like my manager listened to my concerns as a person, and would do their best to incorporate my input into process and procedure. - I like this company enough to create a Glassdoor account and leave a review. That this is my first after nearly a decade in tech should say something on its own.

Cons

- Typical "release rush" that occurs at most software startups with a release schedule. - No unified remote work / work from home plan. It is up to each department to allow/disallow it, which results in some uneven policies. - Following up to the one above, there are some growing pains around working in a distributed team. This is a temporary con, and people are already addressing many of the issues.

Thank you for taking some time to provide great feedback. We’re taking these reviews seriously and using the feedback to help evolve our culture and workplace. It’s great to hear you’re finding a voice here and that you feel you can be your true self – that is something I personally feel as well and I believe is important to a positive environment. As for some of the feedback in cons, we’re looking into our policies in regard to working from home. You’re correct that it is up to the manager’s discretion, but we also understand that this causes tension – stay tuned! Thank you for being thoughtful and providing us some insights.
