Pros
Reflecting back on the 5 years I have been here... there have been many ups and a couple downs. As with any job. What has kept me going here is the caring co-workers we have. As the company has grown, and expanded internationally, I have seen the challenges of cross collaboration and team communication. What I have also seen is the extreme dedication and care of the managers and other leaders to work on always improving where they need to. Having been in this industry at "start-ups" for the last 11 years, I have seen a lot of companies go through "growing pains" which is often the term used as a copout for real solutions. What I have not seen until coming to BigCommerce, was a team and leadership team doing the real work and succeeding in coming up out of the low periods in a better place. SF Office Culture is AWESOME. We have great people, who aren't entitled or anti-social. People celebrate each others achievements and also help lift each other up when they are down. I am lucky that the execs I support are some of the kindest hearted people I have ever worked for. Bottom line, no place is perfect. What I value most about BigCommerce is the dedication to the happiness and health of the employees *at least in SF I can speak of.
Cons
I wish we could get the ENTIRE company together in person once a year. Now that we are so global it gets even harder to imagine that.
