Pros
  • Awesome people: the employees are generally open and happy to collaborate and help each other.
  • Working with a product that customers love and solves a real pain point for businesses.
  • A focus on fostering a fast-paced, fun culture, even as the company evolves into an enterprise software company.
  • Super-fast growth, both in terms of business and organization.
Cons

Super fast growth: at times, we've struggled with evolving processes and culture to match our growth. I think management is aware of the issues and has worked to keep the culture and implement sane processes, but it's hard sometimes.

The HQ is a little far from the Caltrain station, though it's still definitely walkable.

Advice to Management

It's going to be key to keep the culture fast-paced and young-feeling, even as we continue to grow. It's important that we don't become a big, boring enterprise software company.
