Pros

The company goes out of its way to make remote employees feel part of the team. Our engineering teams (and the leadership of those teams) is world-class. This has propelled us in 18 months from "SparkPost .. who?" to "We're hearing a lot of good things about you". The exec team is very approachable, consistent and reasonable in what they ask the company to do. In my current role I get to wear both customer-facing and technical hats, which suits me just fine. Speaking of which, we have an amazing range of customers, with more coming onboard soon. Things are looking very positive right now.

Cons

No significant downsides in the culture, product, work approach, market segment or tools.

Pros

Many years I have worked in this industry and the terms CTO and CIO have never meant anything other than "a person that managers technical directors". In this company, not only are C-level executives programmers but so are many of the Managers and Directors. Got a code or product question? Post it on the intranet and anyone from an Engineer to the CEO could reply (without the "you didn't know that?" attitude). Compassion for a true work-life balance, working with teams that I can learn from and assist new people during their onboarding, it all comes full circle here. Health care costs rose and the CEO deflected the cost for us. Many other mini-perks too, but the best is being part of the fastest growing technology that reaches people daily. Have something you think may improve the product? Recommend it. Your idea may be rolled in to the next release. Thinking outside the box is a desirable trait. I would recommend working here and more importantly, when people ask if I would recommend them for a job here, I think twice whether they would be a good fit. People here are that awesome.

Cons

With so many teams working very hard, getting together for cross-training is difficult. Enhance skills of current employees not only with external training, but internal cross-training.
