Pros: Patreon has a great mission, and many people there are incredibly dedicated to it. It could be a genuinely inspiring place to work at times. The codebase was even clean and pleasant to work in! I learned a ton, and for most of my tenure, I felt supported and appreciated.

Cons: Sometime in 2018, leadership started making really odd decisions, and they haven't stopped. There have been sudden firings, constant thrash on strategy and reporting structure, and vague explanations as to why any of it was happening. It is not a safe or comfortable place to work anymore. Good talent is leaving in droves, and the organization is steadily losing diversity. It's incredibly depressing to watch.

Pros: Getting to work on a platform that enables people to create things of value and get paid for doing so, all over the world, is a great feeling. It's really a product that helps people and makes the world a better place. The product is fun to work on. There are cool opportunities for building out features, and there are so many things to work on, so I can't imagine getting bored here. Team members are smart, friendly, fun, and very cooperative. They feel really strongly about the product and want to make sure it works well for people everywhere. Transparency is everywhere. There is a lot of trust in employees, and because of that, management shares a lot of information about where we are and where we're going. Very generous benefits, especially given the lockdown situation this year. Management has made it easy to ensure your WFH environment is as professional and productive as possible.

Cons: Occasionally, the overlap with San Francisco means waiting for people to come online in the afternoon to get feedback on things or ask questions. As the team in Dublin grows, this will become less of an issue.

Pros: Good work-life balance, decent pay, great teammates.

Cons: The company needs to find its direction.
