Pleasantly surprised, compared to other tech companies
Pros
- Loud & clear emphasis on fostering psychological safety - As of review, company is succeeding despite industry-wide layoffs - Remote-friendly (role-based), work-from-home accepted and applauded (not just a phase!) - Balanced culture, happy customer AND happy employees (never sacrificing one for the other, both can be true) - Comprehensive product documentation - Lengthy (1 month - 3 month), but rewarding and enriching onboarding experience - Efficient recruiting process, less than 2-3 weeks total - Salary transparency/alignment during recruiting, was told projected offer amount early in the process - Degree-agnostic, experience is a valid substitute for a college degree!
Cons
- Very large product, low learning curve (lots to learn, but lots of time/patience for new hires in most cases. Steep would be lots to learn + fast) - Sometimes difficult to articulate what we do, especially to colleagues outside of tech
