• Strong engineering culture. The management layer are all engineers. The co-founders are both technical and understand. The product managers all have some technical experience. PMs typically have more than one team under their umbrella, which results in a lot of technical freedom and influence.

• Strong product development culture. Thinking big is encouraged, and roadblocks to product development are discovered and eliminated. Spending time to make the product work well is valued.

• Engineering ownership. We don't have a QA team. You are responsible for developing the feature, monitoring it, and supporting it. You own it. Some people don't like this and can't handle the ownership, but if you like responsibility, this company is for you.

• Strong company, product, and financials.

Honestly, it's really hard to think of cons. I'll be here for a few years at least.

Continue listening and being willing to tackle challenges that arise as we scale.
