      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very strong team. - Very clear mission and company goal. - Transparent leadership team. - Active founder involvement (rxin, ali, patrick, etc). - Very interesting technology and opportunities to work on cutting edge stuff.

      Cons

      - Poor work-life balance - oncalls can be painful and there's a lot to do without a ton of support. Not clearly a priority of management. - Base salary is lower than top companies with the expectation that equity has high upside - Not a diverse team. Not a clear priority from management.

      Pros

      • Really passionate and collaborative team, healthy conflict and risk taking is encouraged • Leadership is transparent and open • The work is interesting and there is the opportunity to do different things depending on career aspirations and development areas • I have a great manager who is very supportive and whom I can be open and honest with • Compensation is fair (caveat, I did join the company in the past year) • Ability to have flexible work schedule when needed • Career development resources and programs have room to grow but are a focus area which is positive

      Cons

      • Culturally the company is very fast paced and everything feels like it's a top priority which can lead to burn out, work/life blend continues to be an area of opportunity (even little things like leadership modeling taking time off could make a big difference) • Benefits overall are not super competitive • Environment could be more inclusive for working parents, caregivers, those in unique life situations, etc who have important responsibilities outside of work
