Pros

- The company's mission and goals fit a great niche in the industry, and Justin, the CEO, is an exceptionally caring person who is super dedicated. - My colleagues are nice people generally, and very helpful and extremely collaborative when we work together. - The work-life balance is great! It's totally ok if someone needs to spend time working from home or taking time off, for family or other reasons. - There is a huge commitment across everyone to improve our culture (as good as it is) and diversity (always room for improvement), and that, to me, marks a huge plus for this company.

Cons

- There are lots of great projects to be worked on, but only limited people to work on them, which makes it sometimes difficult to invest in longer-term projects without a clear current business need. - Sometimes in large meetings, my opinions and comments may be missed out or brushed aside, but there are other avenues to make my voice heard.

Pros

By far the best start-up I've worked at. They really care about their employees, and are compassionate to each person's individual needs. During this past covid year, they adapted to work-from-home quite seamlessly. The benefits are pretty generous for a start-up, including a weekly lunch budget, good leave and PTO policies. People are very motivated to succeed, but also understand work-life balance. I never feel pressured to work on weekends or late, unless there is some emergency. Overall, the leadership is forward-thinking, optimistic, and encouraging.

Cons

No 401k matching (it is a small start-up, to be fair). High likelihood to pivot to something new mid-project. Not a con for everyone, but need to be able to work in a rapidly changing environment.

Pros

Growth-focused: Leadership encourages individual contributors to grow themselves in addition to contributing to areas of the company that they feel is important. Feedback oriented culture: I've felt that I've been able to give and receive feedback safely with my immediate team, and with things that I don't work on often. Fast-paced and agile: Problems that we've faced were dealt with quickly and efficiently. As an engineer this means I get to wear many hats and must stay flexible.

Cons

Not enough bottoms-up decision making or empowerment. A lot of raw information, not enough synthesized information. Not as much collaboration on eng / prod side
