Pros
  • Smartest group of people I've ever worked with: it feels like I'm constantly learning, across all divisions
  • Hard tech: we work on hard problems, with interesting tech
  • Customer driven: coming from an R&D company, it's great to see how much impact our products are having for our customers
  • Growth: the company is growing so fast, the only way to adapt is to grow with it. New opportunities / products / teams regularly open up, so it never feels like you're stuck. Internal teams also operate like their own mini-startups, so you will learn how to build products, scale teams, successfully ship to customers
  • High autonomy + bottom-up culture
  • Feedback culture: you will continuously (or seek) feedback, from peers, managers or anyone else in the company.
Cons
  • Performance based culture: related to the feedback culture above, you don't have to wait 6 months / 1 year to know how you are performing. But it also means you have to pull your own weight to contribute to the success of the company
  • 50h is not for everyone. Do not work here if you expect a 9-5 job.
  • You can easily get the impression that everyone is working all the time, when in reality there is always someone working. There is a strong emphasis on being self regulated
Advice to Management

As the company continues to grow rapidly, stay true to the values that have made it successful so far. Continue to be very paranoid about not becoming a corporate hell.
