The people make it worth it

Pros

I haven't worked at a place with a better combination of super smart people who are earnestly rooting for each other to succeed. Work life balance is really solid. I work pretty much 9-5 and don't feel held back career-wise. There are interesting technical challenges. I've learned a lot here. The business is shaping up to be successful. Nothing is guaranteed, but financially it's a pretty good bet.

Cons

It's growing very quickly and we don't have cross-team communication nailed down. This leads to some projects feeling confusing until the right people talk to each other. I'd love to see more racial and gender diversity in leadership. A lot of foundational infrastructure is being worked on. This is exciting, but it means that sometimes we're building on foundations that are only half way there.

Pros

- Fantastic product with a huge following - Smart, friendly, interesting people - Company is doing well finically - Well compensated - Great perks

Cons

- The most mismanaged workplace I have a part of in the decade of experience - Last minute rushes are the norm, but unwilling to compromise on quality leading to high rates of burn out - The above leads to having to fill in for multiple jobs making the compensation not worth it for the amount of responsibility - Act likes and wants to be a big tech player, but has no idea how to get there or the resources for it

Pros

Everyone there is really good at what they do. You get the opportunity to work on the things that excite you most, they put in a lot of trust with you to run with things. They listen and react to concerns when you have them. Virtual yoga, virtual meditation, COVID recharge days, and virtual town halls to discuss the impact of current events have been a big help this past year. Also great benefits, they really see you and support you as a human.

Cons

There can be a feeling of high expectations and pressure to perform, but people here are very supportive and constructive with feedback, so they help you be your best.
