Pros

Equitybee has helped many startup employees get funding to exercise their stock options, many of which experienced life-changing liquidity events. Without Equitybee, many of these startup employees would not have exercised their stock options and in turn, would have left money (sometimes a lot) on the table upon a liquidity event. It's so inspiring to hear real stories week in, week out about startup employees who are so thankful and appreciative of what Equitybee has done for their financial future. Beyond the mission, Equitybee has great people. They walk the talk when it comes to living by core values that the founders exemplify in their leadership, especially being transparent about good and bad updates. They do not sugarcoat situations that suck which is refreshing. They also truly mean unlimited PTO (assuming you are on top of your responsibilities), have great benefits and unlike other startups I've been at in the past, they don't call you "family" and remind us that our actual families come first.

Cons

Like the vast majority of startups, Equitybee was impacted in the transition from "growth at all costs" to "sustainable & efficient growth" stages in startup world. There have been layoffs which is not unique to Equitybee. Additionally, a lot of macroeconomic events impact Equitybee more so than other startups (B2B SaaS) in the sense that the health of the markets does affect revenue potential any given month. Leadership has adapted by implementing a different company strategy to take these things into account and has been very transparent about it and has taken measures to ensure all employees understand the new strategy and are able to ask questions (especially the hard/uncomfortable ones).
