Honestly an Amazing Place to Work
Honestly an Amazing Place to Work
-
Kind, smart, driven, conscious, empathetic, and intelligent people.
-
Awesome product with great engineering and product teams that actually do user research and develop based on user feedback.
-
A really, really great People Ops team with tons of resources for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals. They also have tons of internal events to keep people engaged, motivated, and connected.
-
Lots of attention paid to individual growth by everyone, from direct managers all the way to the leadership team.
-
Growing really, really, really fast, so keeping up to date on product features, updates, and supported integrations is a tough task. Everyone has their own repository of content, so a lot of repeated work is being done in silos.
-
The product surface area is very large and growing every day. This makes it hard to get a good grasp on who the target personas are and delve deep into a specific functionality or domain. One has to be a jack of all trades and split attention between many different parts of the platform.
- Continue making data-driven decisions.
- Continue being as transparent as possible with your employees and tell them WHY you're making the decisions you're making.
- Continue to check in with employees on how they're feeling and what you can do to support their work better.
- Start devoting more attention to further diversifying the workforce.
- Stop cultivating a culture around Berkeley, Stanford, CMU. It's cult-like and exclusionary to other folks.
