Pros: The location is flexible and the people are friendly.

Cons: The environment was increasingly corporatized and slightly disorganized for remote work.

Pros: I joined Webflow toward the end of what I would consider their cultural golden era. There were some brilliant and passionate people, and things were fast and scrappy the way that fun startups are. This has changed as the business has scaled, but I think there's still plenty of room to experiment and make an impact. I was excited to show up to work every day and felt proud to be there. The work was technically challenging and I felt empowered to make impactful changes where I felt they were needed, and was rewarded for those contributions. I learned more from my time at Webflow than any other point in my career, and would still recommend it to others even though I have my reasons for leaving. The benefits package is a little less generous than it was when I started a couple years ago, but still excellent.

Cons: Your experience at Webflow will largely depend on your team and direct manager. I had a good relationship with my manager, but I knew many people who didn't. For a time, it seemed like way too many people were being promoted or hired in at levels that were inappropriate or unearned, and too many people got away with meaningless or straight-up no contributions before anything was done about it. This seemed partly due to some managers not being invested enough in the work of their ICs to keep them working on impactful projects, and also lacking coherent leveling criteria. This has improved, but is still something to keep an eye on. The recent culture changes and layoffs that happened with new leadership were disappointing to see, but at least it seems they aren't afraid to make tough decisions that can ultimately push the business in the right direction.

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.
