Pros

I enjoy working with fantastic colleagues at this incredible startup that has really captured the zeitgeist. Hearing customer stories regularly is truly inspiring—it reminds us who we serve and the positive impact we have. It's incredibly rewarding to help small business owners achieve their dreams. The company's strong emphasis on value-driven work resonates deeply with me, aligning perfectly with my personal values. We're all encouraged to uphold these principles in everything we do.

Cons

The company needs more resourcing to match its ambitions.

Pros

- The people are awesome. I genuinely enjoy and have so much fun with the people I work with. Makes working remotely a lot easier, although you do have office options if you live in a hub! - Leadership tries to be as transparent as possible, which is refreshing coming from another big tech company. - Little corporate BS, and company values high execution and getting rid of all of the fluff as much as possible - So many opportunities to learn new things and stretch your skillset. Critical for folks that are still early in their careers! - Benefits are so amazing. Hard to compare to other companies.

Cons

- Classic startup cons, but work life balance can definitely struggle at times. I think we're pretty transparent about that though during interviews so folks know what they're signing up for! - Diversity at senior leadership could be way better, specifically for women and POCs. - Not a super clear career growth path, but there are always opportunities to learn new things and get involved in new projects.
