Pros

I just joined not long ago, but even through virtual meetings, you can already see that this company has very clear communications and lays out all its difficulties in plain sight, so everyone can try to help work on it.

The executive team is considerate and empathetic. You can really see the difference this makes as it trickles down to the management and ICs like myself. Management here often holds weekly one-on-one meetings to help employees achieve their best.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the company took good care of its employees and found all sorts of ways to keep people happy, including extra holidays and work-from-home perks. Weekly fireside chats with the CEO, etc., to understand the business, and Q&A sessions.

The business is growing quickly, and so are everyone's careers who work here (employees are considered for promotions every 6 months).

Cons

The company is not the largest player in the industry and has plenty of places for a new hire to add value, including fixing previous tech debt. I don't think there is anything out of the ordinary I have found yet.

Advice to Management

Keep up the stellar work.
