Pros

* This is truly an organization of caring individuals. Our culture is based on the simple concept of selfless excellence and I see that in action every day. * This is a late stage start up that provides an amazing balance of innovation, risk taking, speed, impact and safety. * There is never a doubt that the work that me and my team are doing is making an impact. I know every day that I have an opportunity to contribute to the companies success. * We have the most amazing benefits I've ever seen! I don't pay any premiums for me or my family, and haven't spent a dime out of my own pocket since I joined. When I asked why we do this, the co-founder told me it was because it's the right thing to do for our employees. We ask so much of everyone, every day, the last thing he wants anyone to worry about is the health and safety of their families.

Cons

I wouldn't necessarily say this is a con, but more of a learning curve for us - we need to figure out how to create the right balance for the teams who have to collaborate across geographies. We're focusing on ways to address this, which is great, but it is a tough problem to solve.

Pros

Competitive salaries, supportive leadership, lunch stipend for those in office, decent benefits, embracing AI, truly trust in their employees, volunteer days, unlimited PTO, work life flexibility, positive and exciting culture. Honestly-- I like coming to work and I really enjoy the people I get to work with. Not a lot of my peers in my same function, but at different companies, can say that.

Cons

Can feel isolating as many of us are remote. Often only the sales team is allowed to incur travel.

Pros

- good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

Cons

- burnout culture: "intensity" is a core value that plays out as burning people out, We've lost some good people over this. - when execs ask for feedback, and people are honest, they gaslight the folks giving feedback to minimize and dismiss the issues raised. - the week between Christmas and New Year's used to be company wide time off. Now it has to be approved by management. There were clearly some executives who wanted this to happen because they couldn't stand giving the whole team time off at once. See burnout comment above. - impulsive and reactive CEO. Fire drills every week that derail current projects. Downstream, we get harpooned by our direct C-level for not meeting deadlines. Other items have to be deprioritized in order to accommodate his urgent requests; there's no way around this.
