Pros

- top notch recruiters with an intentional interview process - SF Office very nice, great food snacks & perks - insanely good customers that most startups dream of having - the founders are exceptional, leadership are passionate and inspiring - coworkers are highly motivated, intelligent, and super kind - the product is massive, very interesting to learn and contribute to - company rewards top contributors & employees with lots of agency - EPD and GTM collaborate well - healthy tension to support customers

Cons

- culture is very slack-driven, I wish we were more documentation-driven - some teams have a lot of ambiguity/thrash to navigate - some teams clearly not performing well and/or lack strong managers, which can be demotivating for teams that are performing well - the majority of managers are decent, some are bad. very few are truly great. no management training that I'm aware of - growth stalled for a bit, but seems be picking up a lot now
