Pros

Lively hires the best people, and coworkers are amazing. It's a pleasure to "go to work". There are some opportunities for interesting product development work and to learn new software development techniques (especially using node/typescript). Management is receptive to feedback, and workload is fair (good WLB).

Cons

Professional development and collaboration are not supported, leading to coasting, burnout, turnover, and layoffs. These growing pains make it hard to convert professional relationships into productive work. Feedback through official channels is not helpful. Some work is not well communicated. Compensation did not keep up with the market (at least in my case).

Pros

Grounded and caring founders and management team. Great team all around. Collaborative culture focused on improvement and progress -- not blame and ego. Great mission. Lots of growth opportunities. There's a constant stream of recognition and promotions. Strong, growing business despite the challenging economic environment. Decent work-life balance.

Cons

The benefits aren't on par with other tech companies. B2B strategy is still immature -- a new CRO started recently who seems to understand how to build an effective strategy in this space.
