Cons

- Signs of bureaucratic layers and politics emerging - Pay is good overall but can lag industry - Very much a startup, not great at work/life balance, but better than most

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences working at Spellbook! We couldn't have said it better ourselves—we care about giving our team agency to get things done and removing barriers along the way. We benchmark our compensation to market to remain competitive and are working to keep our organization as flat as possible (even with our growth) to avoid unnecessary bureaucratic layers. Appreciate having you on this journey with us!

Pros

The work is creative, cutting edge, challenging high-velocity and new. The culture is mind over matter and anti-beurocratic. There are decades worth of experience mentoring you on difficult problems. Working at a startup isn't for everyone, but if you feel pressure is a privilege this is the place. Diamonds are made here!

Cons

Sometimes we feel "understaffed" but honestly, it's because the bar is high and I'm grateful for that.
