Pros

Independence, no office politics. No having to explain reasoning for doing something if logical. Working at one of the two offices is awesome. It's a dream company to work for. Flexible work schedule with no set time of working so long as you put your hours in and OK'd by management. This is huge. Three weeks vacation and ability to work a weekend to take a weekday off.

Cons

Trying to understand company structure and what teams do what; since majority of people are not in an office, it's difficult to build rapport. Hiring manager is awesome but it seems like he in in charge of A LOT more than it seems so we don't get as much insight of what's coming down the pipeline. No benefits though there is a stipend of $300 a month. Would be nice to get $500 to say chiro, $500 to RMT, $500 to physio etc like many tech companies offer (750 in some instances). Pay is low. With how great it is to work here, however, I'm hoping in time it goes up considerably with loyalty but note it is a very competitive market and you will miss out on some talent by being lower than competition right out the gate, especially after getting hundreds of millions as an investment.

Pros

- Awesome founders when they were involved in the day-to-day - Great benefits

Cons

- Lost a lot of what made this place special during the scale up from 100-1000 employees - Hired a ton of outside leadership which ultimately resulted in a culture shift and many of the people who worked there the longest leaving

Pros

* Flexible working arrangements and quite a bit of autonomy. * A genuinely supportive manager and a collaborative, positive team environment. * Competitive pay for the role and responsibilities.

Cons

In recent years the company has shifted in a direction that feels very different from the organisation I originally joined. * There is a strong emphasis on a “high performance culture”, but there is limited structure or support in place to help employees develop the skills needed to meet those expectations. * Career progression and compensation increases can feel closely tied to visibility rather than the quality or impact of the work itself. * The company is moving away from its fully remote approach. In-person events that were once optional are now mandatory, even for teams that may not directly benefit from them. The locations chosen do not always appear to consider the needs or circumstances of a globally distributed workforce, and employees are now required to go through formal accommodation processes simply to avoid international travel due to health or safety concerns.
