Pros

- The CEO is amazing. He is extremely well connected with the industry and has a deep understanding of the market - The team is great, both in term of experience (built and shipped successful products at scale) and in actual execution (the products we've built since the inception of the company are impressive) - The culture is great. There is a strong effort to build a diverse and inclusive team. People are friendly, open and highly motivated. - The industry we're in is moving very fast. There are tons of opportunities to build new and innovative products.

Cons

- There can be some cultural differences since some people in the team are veterans from startups and others are veterans of large organizations, but we are well equipped to solve these. - Some teams are understaffed, it needs to be addressed by changing where we are sourcing candidates from. - There are still a lot of uncertainties around the future of the industry.

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
