Great place to work with some normal growing pains - Staff Software Developer Jane App Employee Review

Happy weekend out in Waterloo! We're having that "Arctic Front" here in Vancouver, which would probably make you laugh because it's -5 here and we're all trying to avoid going outside ❄️, and it's -10 today for you over there and probably "business as usual". 💪 I really appreciate hearing your pros and cons in this review - thanks so much for sharing. I always feel motivated by both sections - to continue to put effort into maintaining and iterating the "Pros" and to consider if there is more we can do to improve on the "Cons". I love that your Pros articulate efforts to live our Values - Particularly "Love Jane" (Team, Product, Company and Customer). So many lovely deeply rooted intentions that help us make our every day decisions. Even your comment mentioning our "responsible with finance" approach is based on a desire to build a company that is sustainable into the future - so that we can continue to serve our Customers and Team. Growth, yes, but not at the expense of our Customer or Team. 💕 And your Cons are so helpful - thank you for sharing. They are mostly articulating those organizational, design, and process changes that are needed to care for a changing system like Jane. 🛠️ Since we continue to add people every year, the complexity of Jane grows along with the headcount! Thanks for being a part of the conversations around bringing an agile mindset into the dev org. I know as a Staff Developer you're one of the people who are tasked with helping us iterate on an ever-evolving system here. So, thanks for sharing some of the places where you're feeling some cracks. I also liked hearing about your Time Zone challenges and that more PTO would be meaningful to you. I sat in on both the 2024 Roadmap Meeting and the 2023 Year in Review Meeting with the product team this week and I left feeling SO INSPIRED. If these are strides we're making in an imperfect system imagine what more we can do as we continue to refine and improve the eco-system in which we work together. I love that. Thanks for being an important part of what we have accomplished and of what we will be tackling in 2024. I couldn't be more excited to build some new great things together and to continue to Grow and Delight. 📈 🥰 💗 Thinking about this is a goal for both Jane as a Company and for our Customers. Grow and Delight! Ali Co-Founder/Co-CEO
