Pros
  • The biggest pro is definitely culture. It all starts with a high bar in our values-fit interview. We've managed to curate some of the most talented, thoughtful, and humble people that I've ever had the chance to work with.

  • Plenty of career opportunities. Working at a growing company means that there are always plenty of things to do and ways to stretch yourself.

  • Mentorship is valued and really easy to find. Everyone is incredibly helpful and wants everyone else around them to do well. As a result, it is easy to find support everywhere.

  • Opportunity to make a real difference for people. We've always focused on small businesses and hearing the stories from our customers really drives home the impact we are making.

  • Flexible work hours and PTO. Free lunch and dinner (that is amazing).

Cons

It's hard for us to call ourselves a startup anymore. As we've grown, there are more and more faces that I don't recognize at the office. But we've done a good job of keeping the most important parts of the culture.

Advice to Management
  • Continue thinking of ways we can improve our process power.
  • Continue focusing on the customer with every decision.
  • Start taking more risks and driving new initiatives.
