Pros

Super friendly people. Lots of office events and group outings to blow off steam and socialize. Big enough that things have calmed down some and there's clearly defined process where there should be, but also small enough that there's not too much bureaucracy and there aren't rules just for the sake of having rules. The company is still experiencing growth and making a lot of money so need to worry about it running out of runway at least in the near term. It feels like everyone is on the same team and working together and across departments, not much politics. If you're scared off by the negative reviews from the past don't be, there was a low period for a little while after we cut down headcount to keep our burn rate under control, but the company's been growing stably since then. I joined after all that had already happened and have seen nothing but great things from Percolate.

Cons

Just the usual things you'd encounter when working in a smaller organization. If you need something from another part of the company you might have to be patient because everyone's trying to do as much as possible as quickly as possible but it's a young company so we don't have as many resources as we do aspirations. You might want really want something that'll make your team's life way easier by Q2 but have to wait until Q3 because some other priority came up, that sort of thing.
