Pros
This company has been very good to me in my time here, hence my 5 stars. The original founder recently decided to step down as CEO and the CFO took over which is actually a good thing. Normally a CFO taking over can be a red flag, but in this case, I think he's the right person for the job. Pinwheel needed a stabilizing force who would rally the company around some key objectives that actually drive revenue in order to grow and build a sustainable company. That is what JR is doing. There is an opportunity to get recognition for doing good work, and the company is much more stable now than it was under the Founder. Revenue growth is not as strong as we'd like, but it is getting more consistent, and there's a clear path to continued sustainable growth leading to a solid medium-sized business. Comp is decent, not top of market, but not cheap either. Work-life balance is mixed in the company but has generally been sustainable for me.
Cons
Growth rate is overall fairly slow. This is a VC-backed company but no longer acts like it because high burn was not sustainable. Because revenue growth was not fast enough, the company needed to basically halve its total size, and the size of the company today is much more appropriate to what it should be. There are still areas that are lacking resources (namely some parts of Engineering), but this is improving. Hiring is not as ambitious (esp in Engineering) as I would prefer, but it isn't woefully lacking either. I also think in time this may change as revenue growth continues.
