Pros
  • Coworkers who are smart as hell.
  • Hard problems at scale.
  • A meaningful mission helping mom-and-pop businesses.
  • Complete agency.
  • A remote-first company.
  • A strong compensation paradigm.
  • Great benefits.
Cons
  • A tad disorganized at times due to a fast pace, even compared to much smaller companies.
  • Joining right before an edition makes ramp-up hard.
Advice to Management

A proper onboarding would pay in spades. Architecture and systems overview, an overview of key stakeholders on and adjacent to your team, and spending eight hours pair programming a feature that runs the entire development happy path would likely cause new hires to be productive faster.
