      Pros

      They'll say all the right things to make you feel special at first, so you feel like it's worth the stress.

      Cons

      Prepare to be gaslit. They purposefully keep teams small so they can exploit you for labor. extremely lacking in diversity. no interest in actually making change as long as upper management keeps making money. product actually has structural issues because they are also so stingy with money Stay far away if possible. Don't believe me? Take a look at all the negative interview experiences. It's clear they've asked current employees to flood Glassdoor with positive reviews to bury negative ones.

      Pros

      - Amazing culture and people. - The company is stable, bootstrapped and profitable but all 3 founders are still here and engaged. Senior leadership beside founders is also good and together they make decisions that make sense. - Actually good work/life balance. Company gets stuff done and you'll grow without blowing up your personal life.

      Cons

      - Being pure remote is tough getting started anywhere, but due to everyone being so smart and well-rounded and focus on async remote, it felt especially intimidating at first coming into this environment. But if you do your best it all falls away.

      Thank you so much for sharing! If you're new to a fully remote, async team, it can certainly feel challenging. But we're so happy to hear things became more comfortable as you settled in. Our team is committed to making onboarding feel welcoming and supportive so your feedback really helps us continue improving 🙏🏼

      Pros

      - Great product that customers love - Wonderful culture - thoughtful, low ego, autonomous and flexible - Great and talented people - people are smart, eager to help, a mix of tenured people with lots of historical context and newer people brining fresh perspectives and ideas.

      Cons

      Not really a con, but sometimes being fully remote can make building connections with people outside of your immediate bubble a bit hard. But because Close has been remote for so long (well before Covid) it has done a really good job of making remote work easier - and most people here really love it.
