Pros

-They only hire really high-performing awesome folks, so they are able to put a lot of trust and responsibility on you right from the beginning. -Everyone is going to be your new best friend (not kidding) -They help you set realistic, but tough goals. Motivation to kick butt is never really a problem. -Bam Bam -There is a TON of growth right now in the company, so if you prove to be one of those kick-butt team players, there's plenty of chances to take on new responsibilities -Also because of the growth, they are always open to new ideas. Even from the bottom of the totem pole, your ideas will reach the Heaviest Sumos and get considered. -No groupthink. Everyone is happy to admit when they are wrong and take feedback.

Cons

-A few of the members are remote, so it gets hard to know them. That said, we all chat on Slack and meet up whenever possible. Staying connected and accountable isn't really problem :) -There's no set-in-stone schedule, so you have to be a disciplined go-getter who can stay on task and get your work done. If you procrastinate, you'll have to make up the time to get your projects completed!

Pros

Being able to work on a product that is not only reaching tens of millions of people every day but is also helping positively impact our customer's businesses and lives. Opportunities for personal and professional growth. Transparency from upper management with clearly defined goals. Good benefits and additional perks like free lunch, massages and bi-annual retreats.

Cons

We're growing fast and our office can feel a bit cramped at times. We're moving into a bigger office soon, so it's all good. It's really just a byproduct of our success thus far, so more of a humblebrag than a con.

Pros

1) Surrounded by the smartest people in Austin 2) Small and nimble. Recommend a change on Monday. Watch it go into affect on Wednesday. 3) Bootstrapped / Profitable. Don't have investors breathing down your neck 4) You see the direct impact of your work. From helping a mommy blogger 2x her income to helping big brands like theChive and Entrepreneur Magazine 5) FLEXIBLE -- Work from home, take vacation, ect. There are hundreds if not thousands of "start-ups" in Austin. I've interacted with a good handful of them and can confidently say SumoMe is the best at executing. Quite chasing the start-ups that are chasing the next funding round, and come work for a real company

Cons

1) It's a hustle. Don't sign up if you're looking to clock in / out at 40 hours / week. Brings the Bay hustle to Austin 2) Fast growth = change. This is good / bad. Growth = more opportunity, but also means you can't walk around the office with your shirt off ;)
