Pros

Incredibly competitive product vision and one of the best product-to-market fits. This is the primary reason I joined, after numerous previous employers failed to prove product fit despite having great technology.

Great individual career development opportunity to grow with the company. This is the exact thrilling startup experience I wanted when joining. Building "zero to one" products from scratch and observing tremendous business impact helped me grow into the next level as an engineer.

Clear exit strategy and great monetary incentives, again backed by clear product vision and great growth trajectory.

The people. Having the chance to help triple the engineering team and enjoying the time working with lots of smart people, pooling our wisdom and grit together to build something amazing and lasting.

Supportive team. Myself and at least five members of my team had babies in the past few years. The team and company understand the hardships new parents go through and are extremely supportive.

Cons
  • Not a place to "rest and vest" - This company has low tolerance for opportunists not pulling their own weight.

  • Growth pain from transitioning from startup culture to mature enterprise - Not really a con. Only growing companies have growth pain. I choose growth pain over no growth on any day.

  • Not the best insurance benefits if with family - The company dogfoods its own PEO benefits product, which is not exactly suitable for its current size anymore.

Advice to Management

Please add a Seattle office.

Better insurance benefits would be great.
