Pros

We have the privilege of working on a product that is unquestionably the best in its space (product analytics). That's exciting because it means we're at the forefront of innovation and deal with interesting and hard problems. It also means our customers love us, which is rare.

Company culture is the best I've ever seen. People actually talk about and live up to the values; teams are collaborative and working towards the same goal. I actually care a lot about my coworkers, and they do the same for me.

The engineering team is still really small (~30) and has amazing people.

Cons

The management/exec team is not that experienced, so we have our ups and downs and all of the transitions that come with them. I think it's getting better, but sometimes it's hard to tell.

Despite really good growth, sometimes morale is low when we miss a sales number. In the grand scheme of things, it shouldn't be that big of a deal, but the company rallies around it. Luckily it doesn't happen too often.

Advice to Management

Make sure we're hiring good leaders and getting rid of bad ones.
