Pros
When I was job-hunting, there were a few things that were really important to me, and Granola is great for all of them: - Product: users absolutely love the product, and for good reason - it's simple but really effective. Everyone here cares a great deal about product quality and exploring what more we can do. If you're interested in exploring AI use-cases, this is definitely the place for you - Culture: there's a strong encouragement to just get stuck in and try things. The company is still pretty small so there's plenty of opportunities to work on things that can make a difference. As someone in a customer-facing role, I wouldn't usually get the chance to write a press release, build internal tools, or fix bugs in the main app - but those are all things I've done in my first few months at Granola. - People: when I first started, everyone was super welcoming, despite being very busy. We all have lunch together every day and it feels like a tight-knit team. - Office: it's so refreshing to find a company that prioritises in-person work - and the office is a fantastic environment to work in. It's a really beautiful space with lots of natural light and plants, so it's genuinely great to be there every day. There's flexibility to work from home or abroad ad-hoc, but for the most part we're all in person because we want to be.
Cons
Standard for any startup at this stage: there's a lot to do, things can change very quickly. If you're anything like me, this isn't a downside, but I understand it's not for everyone.
