Pros

The product is amazing and has a clear need within the industry. The founders emphasis was on the culture and people as well as building a great product. It was quite rewarding having such a high influence on the product and quality.

Cons

The usual startup woes: being spread thin, work/life balance although it wasn't particularly bad here, somewhat of a bro culture although you never felt excluded if you weren't a 'bro'.

Pros

Awesome company, awesome culture, very generous with sharing the wealth, lots of fun and excitement--if you are in the right group. the tech talent and engineering writing talent is superb. Work from home and actual hours worked are very flexible, and this is an awesome thing. People of all ages are welcome--you don't feel that ageism you get in some other high tech companies.

Cons

The organization has many growing pains. Be careful that your role is in an appropriate group, and be willing to be very assertive about getting what you need to succeed. Be aware of the dynamics between people in your group when you interview. Ask where your career might lead. Be sure your role is a fit for your group unless you are a totally introverted person who needs no interactions with others to succeed. Also--the hiring process is long and discouraging. This does not mean you won't get the job. There is getting to be that Darren /Larry Tate dynamic at the mid-level, which is totally unnecessary in this company. Godfrey clearly doesn't want that silliness but it's there. Even though Godfrey clearly picks women for high management roles in tech, this trend does not seem to trickle down to lower levels. It's way better than many companies but still -same old zillions of male SE's and engineers and programmers --who are welcoming--but profoundly over represented-- and zillions of women in HR & marketing & writing--with most of the management jobs in these roles going to men even though the worker bees are primarily women-filled. Come on folks, let's hire some women engineers and promote more women in marketing, marcom, tech writing, etc. They are better than most. But unconscious sexism is still there. They do hire lots of brilliant women interns though. Which is a start.
