Happy with my first year, making an impact
Pros
Small company and you can make a big impact without the needless bureaucracy of larger companies Opportunities to learn new technologies Opportunities to work with other A players Accountable culture Culture celebrates accomplishments of people and is transparent about decisions Culture ensures team members support decisions even when they don't agree with them Fully remote company, with ability to hire all over the place, ensures competition Pay/benefits are very competitive and company is willing to pay above market rate for good peopel
Cons
Can be harsh, high expectations, some good people have left due to the work/life balance issues As company is still scaling, there are some severe bottlenecks that hinder the product development process Specifically in QA/Design the support stifles the process. I've been able to jump in and help move the products along but there are clear gaps in these areas Also in the prioritization process, the urgency and timelines are tricky. Still figuring them out
