Strong brand, good people, hard work
Strong brand, good people, hard work
Great people. Decent pay and benefits. Consumer-facing application (You probably know people who use the application). Company cares about objective metrics and good engineering.
Lots of room for improvement, but everyone recognizes this.
Fast-moving work environments don't always give the proper amount of time to ensure quality first.
There were some "strategic" layoffs during 2020 to save money on office space, but the business outlook seems really positive.
Keep putting your employees first and invest in improving the existing functionality of the platform.
