Pros: - People are amazing, and they are not just talented but also compassionate and caring. - You get to work on a really interesting product that is hard to build because it is so complex and customizable, but it is rewarding. - Everyone is very open to feedback, and processes can be adjusted quickly. - There are great benefits. - The business is doing really well, and we are also growing responsibly while being profitable.

Cons: - Not really a con, but as a startup with a complicated product, we are more on the hustling side rather than the relaxing side. So it might not be a fit for everyone.

Pros: Joined a few months ago, and I've been impressed with how it's been. My previous job was at a slightly smaller tech startup, and compared to them, Notion feels way more put together. I'm sure the day-to-day at Notion is more chaotic compared to at large companies (full disclosure: I've never worked at a large company, so I can't directly compare). Still, expectations feel reasonable yet exciting, and everyone cares a lot about quality. Culture-wise, I notice a good amount of quiet folks, but there are definitely high-energy people as well. People have great communication skills, and the documentation-focused culture pays dividends as we scale. The US offices have recently opened up, so we're still exploring how we work together in-person. From what I can tell, Notion takes DEI seriously and puts actual skin in the game. On top of that, I appreciate how proactive the People teams and Office Environment teams are about incentivizing people to get to know each other. For the company size, there are a lot of perks, and overall I feel taken care of.

Cons: Most cons that come to mind are pretty minor. Teams occasionally reshuffle. I've been around for less than a year though, and so far the team changes have been small and reasonable. We're hiring more designers and product managers, so in the meantime, those areas can feel like a bottleneck. One thing to call out is Notion's remote policy. I personally like hybrid (we require 2 days in-office), but for those who prefer fully remote, this is probably a big con. I don't envision Notion moving closer to a fully remote policy anytime soon. And of course, I have to mention the competition. Everyone at Notion is aware that there are tons of competitors in this space. Some days I worry whether our strategies will pay off, but most days I feel like we're on solid ground. In the midst of these layoffs, I'm optimistic that Notion will be fine.

Pros: - Notion is building an inclusive and cozy environment where people feel belonging and care about each other very much. Everyone is willing to share and help others with anything they know. - The engineering group is growing fast, and there are tons of interesting challenges to tackle. We are moving fast, and we split the work into small tasks so that we can finish it in days, and usually a PR can be done within 1-2 days. - The founders are humble and know the product very well. They have a clear vision of the product and the strategy to achieve the company's goals.

Cons: - We are still small, and there are a lot of challenges that we need to figure out how to do. Many times we will have to define processes, and find solutions by learning while working at full speed.
