-Huge growth opportunities in terms of career skills and level -Very large total addressable market - huge upside and potential -Competitive total compensation but low base compared to big tech companies -Sincere and nice people -Generous parental leave policy -Transparent Executive Leadership team

Cons

-Challenging goals you are tied to each quarter that impact your ability to get promoted -Pretty corporate culture i.e. open concept cubicles, tools in place for some micro management -Cheaper than other tech companies i.e. no wfh stipends, or real big tech perks -Not all orgs get to experience flexibility of remote work which makes it hard to attract and retain some talent -Flexible PTO not properly respected; it's normal to answer work emails while on PTO despite management verbally discouraging it -Growing pains -Interviews don't always give realistic expectations of challenges within role -High possibility of burnout if workload is not managed properly -L&D is somewhat lacking i.e. no education stipend and courses only focus on theoretical soft skills

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)
