Pros
- It may not be perfect (nothing is), but Jane and its leaders carry "good intentions" down to their core
- Jane has a kind of fun, caring, and human-centered culture that most companies have all but lost since the post-pandemic layoffs
- As of 2026, Jane is becoming extremely ambitious in its turnaround toward AI, using and building AI for the greater good
- What was once a relatively slow-paced and process-heavy environment is becoming a much faster-paced and growth-inducing environment
- Jane is customer-obsessed as it gets, designers/PMs do more customer interviews than I've ever seen elsewhere and customers are deeply appreciated
- There's never been a better time to build great, impactful product, and Jane is pushing to be at the forefront of it
- Actually remote-first, while doing (and paying for) some fun in-person events (including a yearly vacation to the likes of Palm Springs, Cancun…)
Cons
- Jane has grown complacent in certain ways (like cutting down process and simplifying product), and struggles to keep up with the growth in its headcount (a lot of processes and tools are no longer fit-for-purpose when the numbers get big)
- For someone seeking growth, a lot hinges on their manager to work the process and create a growth-inducing environment on their team. This is happening unevenly throughout the company due to average managers
- Plenty of technical debt, though AI creates an opportunity to side-step a lot of it
