Great Team, Poor Commute

Pros: Meaningful work. Bright teammates. Supportive environment.
Cons: I worked during the pandemic, as everyone else did, from home. That’s not for me.
But I live 100 miles from my team’s office, and commuting after the pandemic wasn’t an option. So while I like WhatsApp both as a team and a product, this was not a good fit for me.
