Pros

Notion is far and away the best place I've worked! I am genuinely excited to go into work each day 🙂.

  • Notinos are deeply passionate, ambitious, caring and empathetic, ranging from diverse backgrounds.
  • Notion has delivered an amazing product with a high quality bar, loved by the community, with really cool impact every day.
  • There are lots of interesting challenges in the engineering space, including complex product and code and design tradeoffs to tackle.
  • Notion has an incredible company culture, environment and people teams, and company events.
  • Notion has fantastic benefits, equity, pay, and more.
Cons
  • Notion, like many startups, is not for everyone -- expect to wear lots of hats and step up often in an extremely fast-paced environment.
  • There's occasional product and design thrash from lots of opinionated, passionate people, which leads to some friction.
Advice to Management

Continue to hold a high quality bar and focus on building for the long-term.

Review processes actively to reduce thrash and help grow employees.

Give folks autonomy and time to build the best building blocks for the future and avoid breaking things and introducing tech debt.
