Pros: Good teammates, nice people to work with. Good mission.

Cons: Everything else is in cons! Management and leadership is the worst you can ever experience.

Pros: So many amazing creators are able to do what they do because of Patreon.

Cons: The way leadership treats its employees as expendable is disgusting and a threat to the health of the business. They've raised a ton of money but have been having an incredibly hard time hiring engineering, partly because morale was low after sudden layoffs a year ago. (Have a happy pandemic!) With the product in desperate need of improvement and morale down, the company stopped everything for months and put all their hopes in one guy, Julian Gutman from Instagram, who was going to magically fix everything. Well, this guy spends a month, and his first big move is to fire a third of the product and engineering organization. Huh? Many long-term employees with years of irreplaceable knowledge were just told they're useless and to leave. Many brand-new employees, that the company worked hard for months to hire and who upended their lives to start a new job, were just kicked to the curb. It feels like insane incompetence.

Pros: Build cool things, work with great people.

Cons: This is an important time for the organization right now. Things move quickly.
