Pros

- People are thoughtful about their work and use data to make decisions - Friendly coworkers are happy to answer questions - The fraction of technical women being notably higher than elsewhere has removed a lot of background stress from my work - Things can move fast, which means anything that's not working well can change (both in the product and organization) - Leadership leans into their humanity

Cons

- Fast pivots and fast growth means sometimes there are miscommunications and people are doing work on something that isn't valuable anymore and that doesn't feel good - Product is not yet mature enough to have confidence and trust in a baseline, which can be stressful - Many people work long hours, not because it's demanded, but because others around them are, so it takes some effort to hold work-hour boundaries.

Pros

If you like a fast paced work environment, this is the place for you. There are tons of opportunities to work your butt off and advance. Additionally, people will notice and give you more opportunities. Salary is fair; insurance is good; commuter benefits are good. Executive team is competent and I like the direction the business is heading, as a whole.

Cons

It is easy to overwork yourself and get burned out. If you're capable and a new problem comes up, you may get drowned with work quickly. It's important to know when to say no. No 401k matching at this time, although I've heard they want to change it in the future. Culture can differ across sites. None of it is bad, per se, but each location definitely works best for a particular mindset and workflow. Executive team sometimes puts their foot in their mouth. It's becoming more apparent the gap between higher and lower levels, which can leave a bad taste if not handled respectfully.

Pros

- challenging and rewarding - room to learn and grow within the company - many opportunities to carve out a niche for myself - supportive management, HR and Operations teams

Cons

- We're trying to move so fast that we often stumble over ourselves - Communication between the Tech and Operations teams needs improvement to give Operations the ability to plan ahead better - Some employees need to work on being more humble and know that we all have our strengths and we're all working towards the same goal.
