Solid growth with sacrifices

Pros

Interesting and demanding projects. Everyone is smart and driven and is trying to make the product better. Have a decent day into what you’d like to work with. It is very dependent on which product and team you’re on since some can seem more boring or more demanding.

Cons

The salary, office setup, and benefits are not up to par to other unicorn startups. No liquidity events so the stock is useless. There are sacrifices to safety that occur, but it’s getting better (there’s a Forbes article on this).

Pros

The projects we work are what brought me here, and have not disappointed. Very interesting work. You work with very high quality engineers. If you see something you want to do, you can just do it and no one will stop you. Showing ownership is encouraged and rewarded. Compensation and reward increases are generous and seem given fairly. Growth trajectory looks promising from both a career and company standpoint.

Cons

The work can be demanding. People who feel deep ownership and responsibility for their work will succeed, but if you don’t, the demands may not feel worth it to you. This won’t be a company for everyone. At the same time, avoiding burnout is a priority for management and roles are being added as fast as possible to reduce workload.
