Pros
- Small, intelligent, driven team. - Bootstrapped and profitable so we don't have to worry about mass layoffs - Kind and inspirational leadership who foster a culture of psychological safety. There are no silly questions. - Company retreats twice a year. We went to Japan in May 2023 - Trust and autonomy to own your part of the business
Cons
- Remote work isn't for everyone. We have meetings and processes in place to ensure the team is connecting but I personally struggle with the "isolation" aspect of remote work. So I need to make sure I am taking responsibility for that and reaching out to team members more often than some to connect. - Trust and autonomy are great, but it also means you must be a self-starter and own your outcomes. While most people think they want this, it isn't for everyone. Not everyone thrives with autonomy as someone people like clear direction on tasks. At Canny you design and execute your own work.

Pros
I've been at Canny since October and really enjoy being part of the team. I work with some really sharp and forward-thinking folks. Everyone is extremely motivated and cares about the product and company that we're building. Hours are flexible and the team is fully remote, to allow me to work in the way that is most productive for me. Plus, we went on a retreat to Spain!
Cons
Like most companies, there is some legacy code that is occasionally problematic and needs to be addressed. The team usually acknowledges these issues and addresses them, but without being a huge team, some things have to slip. Being such a small team, there's not a lot of room for upward career mobility, but that's kind of expected for a startup.
