Pros
Very strong, seasoned founding team and leadership team. Engineering team is also very, very strong (lots of ex-Square folks; founders were all early Square leaders). Some of the legit smartest business and product people I’ve ever met. Company is solving real and interesting problems. Extremely transparent culture (open comp) that welcomes different viewpoints and backgrounds. Exciting, fast-moving startup, without the usual drama or BS that afflict so many companies at this stage. Great benefits (includes optional FSA and dependent care account).
Cons
It’s a challenging product space, and there are lots of risks. Common has a ton of advantages and is better off than other companies in this stage and space, but there is no guarantee that we will succeed.
