Pros: Great and smart co-workers who care about your career growth and potential. You will contribute to a great product.

Cons: Leadership avoids answering questions that people ask, and morale is down as a result of an environment where there is very little trust in leadership anymore. Mass layoffs have reduced the goodwill in the organization and the long-term outlook.

Pros: - WFH - Many learning opportunities - Average pay - Unlimited PTO - Learning stipend and book reimbursement - Great company growth potential

Cons: - Fast-paced - Rocky management - Benefits could be better - Depending on the team, burnout can come often - Treatment from management isn't always equal among the team - Structure or processes among certain teams can be lacking - High expectations to grow rapidly into senior and leadership roles A hot topic among the company is especially burnout. Some employees have it easy, and some don't. Burnout is often a topic that is talked about among the company, and leadership's only suggestion is to take PTO. It doesn't address the root problem, although it is a fast-growing company, so there's pressure and high expectations to be met.

Pros: As an engineer, there were plenty of opportunities for boundless experimentation at Klaviyo that provided career growth and product contribution. Everyone has the freedom to spin up servers they need and spend time researching and learning new technologies. The product team was excellent to work with as an engineer, and they allowed engineering to have a lot of input into the roadmap. Come here to learn a lot about distributed systems, all Amazon web services, and the email sending pipeline integrating into ecommerce. You will learn a great, helpful amount to enable you for your next role.

Cons: There needs to be prioritization into the following R&D principles to make the team world class: * Aligned dev environments: right now there are 5 different independently designed systems and bug recreation & new local feature implementation is challenging * Product team leaders need more experience: more experienced leaders could help design better UIs and hold more rigid stances on goals & roadmaps * Chocked-full of 1st-time startup employees: this is dangerous because without careful attention burnout can be produced & inefficient systems of operation * Not an attractive start-up for financial gains: stock prices were always expensive and the plethora of shares handed out to Engs mostly cannot be afforded by them, and hopefully AMT will not bite them later (many of them do not understand AMT so this is scary) * You'll have to work days, sometimes late at nights, and be on call. It's very difficult for the company to understand work-life balance, and that's clear when you hear about the CEO even working during his wedding.
