Persona

• This is likely the greatest team I'll work with in my whole professional career.
• Every engineer directly manages relationships for multiple customers.
• Team has really high average EQ. Makes them insane at Among Us.
• Company strategy really understands what the word "platform" means. We have a high bar for individual features and an even higher awareness for the synergies between them we're moving towards.
• Most employees here are referrals, and Persona is a greatest hits for them in terms of team. We've somehow managed to avoid high school drama.
• There's a high amount of engineering acumen and pain tolerance here.

• Not a good place for people who spend a lot of time thinking about how to get recognition or foster consensus.
• The workload is high, but mainly because the people here are true owners. Balancing customer requests with feature work will forever be tough.
• The problem we work on is never going to be viral, but it's still very much worth working on.
• We do a lot more than identity verification and have numerous competitors who specialize in one of these areas. A handful of us have to build what these competitors have built in a better way. This doesn't always work out.
• Startup life means there isn't always time for active growth. There can be more thought put into who works on what so everyone can learn to do something new or something better.

Get some rest.
