Pros

I haven't worked at a place with a better combination of super smart people who are earnestly rooting for each other to succeed.

Work-life balance is really solid. I work pretty much 9-5 and don't feel held back career-wise.

There are interesting technical challenges. I've learned a lot here.

The business is shaping up to be successful. Nothing is guaranteed, but financially, it's a pretty good bet.

Cons

It's growing very quickly, and we don't have cross-team communication nailed down. This leads to some projects feeling confusing until the right people talk to each other.

I'd love to see more racial and gender diversity in leadership.

A lot of foundational infrastructure is being worked on. This is exciting, but it means that sometimes we're building on foundations that are only halfway there.

Advice to Management

This is impossibly hard, but... choose to do less stuff so that you have more time!
