Pros
- it's the best of both worlds: opportunity for high impact & flexibility/lack of bureaucracy of a startup, stability and security of a bigco - really smart and friendly coworkers across the board - growing fast, and about to grow even faster(!), in an area of fintech (bill pay) that's super slept on by potential competitors - they're cool with people working remotely/working from home - all the benefits you'd expect - internal mobility is a thing - nice location downtown - dogs in the office - happy hour 4pm every friday
Cons
- some disorganization & lack of documentation but this is fairly typical for companies at this stage of growth. think of it more as an opportunity at this point, although it will eventually become a problem if it's not invested in - comp isn't bad, but they simply can't go dollar-for-dollar with the googles and amazons and facebooks of the world as far as compensation goes. this would be fine, except it's very easy to be paycheck-to-paycheck on six figures in seattle because of the high cost of living (due to the salaries paid by those tech companies)
