Pros

The leadership team is thoughtful, transparent, and has a clear vision for where the company is headed. The product itself is genuinely exciting with massive potential, and it's great to be part of a company that's solving real problems. The people here are one of the best parts — smart, humble, and always willing to collaborate and support one another. The culture is open and feedback-driven, and there’s a strong sense of shared purpose.

Cons

Engineering velocity has been impacted by accumulated tech debt over time, which can slow things down. That said, there are a lot of initiatives currently in motion to address this and improve the pace of development. Cross-team alignment can be a bit challenging at times, but it’s something that’s being acknowledged and worked on.

Advice to Management

Keep investing in the tech and processes that help teams move faster, and continue working on improving cross-functional alignment as the company scales. Most importantly, continue to foster and enhance the open, feedback-driven culture — it's one of the company’s biggest strengths and a key reason this is such a great place to work.
