Pros

Build what you think (and can prove) is important. Own what you've built. No overhead due to corporate kind-of structure and policies. People are actually helpful and want to develop the product here for the sake of customers. Possible to improve on all the roles/skills you feel like you need.

Cons

More stress due to more responsibility. Communication overhead due to autonomous teams.

Pros

Good PTO, and friendly Wisers.

Cons

Management is totally micromanagement, and the People team does not advocate for employees; they appear present only in name. If I were in Kristo’s position, I would conduct a thorough top-to-bottom review of the entire HR department of U.S., and replace all of them. If over 70% of the Austin team would never recommend this workplace, it is a significant warning sign that needs to be addressed.
