Pros

My coworkers in engineering and the culture are awesome. Everyone is friendly and open to questions. If I'm ever stuck, there's always someone happy to help out. Seniority or roles don't seem important to the culture at all.

Get to work on a fun product, and my work feels impactful. The company as a whole is very transparent. It's easy to understand company decisions and see the purpose of my (and others') work.

Cons

Despite creating an app that enables work from anywhere, working from home can sometimes feel lonely and distant. I work on-site often, giving me the opportunity to interact with coworkers more, which makes things a lot more fun.

Advice to Management

Bring more people into the office!

(Don't force it, maybe just add another lunch day.)

I think my experience has been a lot different than others due to the in-person collaboration and community.

Prioritize collaboration and better communication, especially for remote folks. Bring them a similar experience to those working in person! (events, fun)

I think employee experiences differ per-team and per-project. I enjoy my work, but I acknowledge that there are many other reviews here or that I've heard which show a different experience.

Would be awesome to have a similar culture and experience for everybody, and feel more like one company as a whole rather than separate teams sometimes.
