Great Values, Huge Upside, Massive Impact
Engineering Manager • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
May 6, 2021
Pros: Company values are excellent: bottoms up, high levels of ownership, tons of autonomy, and data-driven decisions.
Company is on track to be huge, with valuation increasing quickly.
It's easy to make tons of impact because the company is really small, and there's a huge number of users.
Cons: I don't have any at this time.
