Friendly people, great mission, high % tech women, some growing pains
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.
