We're all in this together!

Pros

We're working on a mission that matters. People spend so much time at work, and a lot don't really like their jobs, so anything we can do to bring some magic, fun, and simplicity to their lives feels good! The exec team is in this for the long-haul and they're fully values driven. Things are not political.

Cons

As the fastest growing B2B software company ever, growth expectations are incredibly high. As a company we're still figuring out goal-setting, because we're still relatively new and growing so fast. This can make it challenging to benchmark performance.

Pros

* What they say on the outside, they do on the inside * Actual empathy and caring for employees * Fast growing company * Care about their product and its effects on people, not just $$$ * Lots of good quality folks to work with * Always looking to improve employee experience - be place to do your best work

Cons

* Still a very San Francisco based company in operation (but improving) * Close to, but not yet profitable at time of writing * A bit senior+ level heavy. Need to encourage and develop & support more below senior roles.
