Pros: I spent a big chunk of my career there and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Tons of growth opportunities, was able to significantly contribute to the product and work on incredibly hard and rewarding technical challenges. Met so many great people there who are still close friends today. I’ve worked at lots of startups in my career and Webflow was by far the best experience I’ve had. After I left to join an early stage start up I quickly found the early stage startup operated more like a big company with more politics than Webflow and now I just want to go back to Webflow.

Cons: Hyper growth is what it is and comes with periods of stability and adjustment. Some pockets and teams in the company are more stable over time than others. Compared to other companies that have experienced the kind of exponential growth Webflow has had and will continue to have, I think they’re handling it far better than average.

Pros: Incredible engineers Salary is fair An interesting product and evolution of product

Cons: Unlimited PTO that seems intentionally designed to sow confusion with unclear rules and social pressure that means most folks don't take the time off they want or even need. I have frequent conversations of "I need this time, but worried to even ask" CEO that seems to thrive on gambling and talks about gambling and poker, and shares casino related metaphors was a big red flag after joining, and is getting tiresome pretty quick, the message it sends to staff is: I'll take a gamble, but it won't be me that pays the debt Handled a round of layoffs badly by folks finding out by blog post, then apologised after the first one for handling badly (I joined around then and was a horrible environment), then laid 20% more staff off in a even worse way around 2 years later, and now the culture is horrific. Folks are burning out and high level senior folks are leaving and everyone is worried for the next "reorg" so folks are distracted trying to find other work in the meantime. There was not much effort to have any kind of culture, at least on my team Execs that "ship ship shipped" bad code and took little to no accountability when it went wrong, others fixed it Unhappy managers that have way too many reports to effectively help anyone meaningfully. Online community and fanbase was thriving but was dismantled to nothing Huge hiring in Argentina and outside of US instead of hiring US citizens and helping our economy, they're looking for cheaper labor.

Pros: Encouragement from top down to not overwork. Remote-first with flexible opportunities to travel to work in San Francisco office. Family friendly, flexible hours, but communicative so nobody drops off of radar. Non-toxic culture with engineers and other team-members from a variety of backgrounds. Best male / female engineer balance of anywhere I've worked... I wish Glassdoor made it possible to compare those numbers.

Cons: The eternal challenge: balancing legacy support with building new stuff.
