Pros

The company has great values. The employees and managers all proactively engage, encourage, and live by these values. Everyone is super supportive and kind and constantly edifying each other, but not as empty praise. Very sharp, brilliant people here, all doing what they love. Fantastic and well-presented onboarding content (company-general, with deep dives into each area of the business for full coverage). Small company size means big impact for every employee.

Cons

I can't think of any cons, but I can see areas for improvement in the CM process. Though I come from a more stringent background, and with fewer cooks in the kitchen, it's possible to stay relatively stable with less stringent CM/release practices.

But, as the company scales, potentially this will need to improve, and I'm sure it will. People here are forward-thinking and planning for the future, from what I have seen already.

Advice to Management

Please keep doing what you're doing, and continue to be as wonderfully responsive and proactively empathetic in touch with your employees' needs. It makes a huge difference.
