      Start up with stability

      Pros

      - dscout has a number of employees who have been here from the beginning, including the current CEO and the original technical co-founder. Having this level of history and context is awesome - space, time, and money set aside to explore and grow - start up culture where everyone knows everyone, but the business is growing - established HR culture that ensures pay equity - different functional areas work harmoniously together

      Cons

      - as the company continues to grow, culture could erode (Leadership is taking steps to prevent this as far as I know) - potential for new clients drives some product/engineering decisions that can feel rushed

      Thoughtful leadership and careful growth

      Pros

      This company is unlike many of other startups in that the leadership team has been intentional about how and when we get funding and prefers to grow the company slowly and steadily. As such you will get more stability and work life balance than many other places. Clients genuinely find our product valuable and research is more stimulating than a boring saas product.

      Cons

      The slow and steady growth means you’d need to temper your expectation that you’re at a “rocketship.” The leadership believes strongly in a flat organizational structure and people are certainly not promoted every 6 months like some early stage companies, even when it’s deserved. They come from more formal consulting backgrounds, so some of their philosophy around career growth does show in that regard. There has been a lot of heads down hard work by many individuals and despite company growth I don’t see significant increases in salary or exciting career path opportunities for more than a couple of people. This may just be a reflection of the stage the company is at, and again you are getting far more stability than other startups, but it’s the biggest con I see about working at dscout. As a result we are seeing some longer term employees start to leave.

      dscout is a true gem

      Pros

      Culture / I appreciate having supportive and collaborative colleagues, and leaders who genuinely listen and care. Has been nice to see the company work on diversity and inclusion in the last few years. I hope they keep this up and continue to be so transparent. Growth / dscout has grown quickly which creates a lot of advancement opportunities. People are personally invested and stick around for longer than the other tech companies I've worked for. Quality product and customers / dscout works with the best companies out there which is great for networking and learning about the tech industry. It helps to have a solid product that users love.

      Cons

      The company is growing and some people are working remote long term so I hope dscout can maintain the same connection and culture with all this change.
