Pros
- Product direction and vision are strong, moving forward
- Great work-life balance with ample vacation, sick days, & additional benefits – clearly an environment that cares about their employees well-being
- Good opportunities in entry-level positions and certain teams
- No micromanaging, freedom to be successful at your job with personal responsibility and flexibility
- Work happy hours, events, trip to Amsterdam HQ for satellite offices
Cons
- Management can be highly disorganized in their processes, haven't received proper training when they were elevated to their roles, don't set the right example for their coworkers, and accountability for them is unclear.
- High employee turnover due to slow or no growth for certain positions, salary, lack of learning opportunities (especially if you're coming in with some experience)
- Satellite office can feel neglected, lack of HR
- Changing processes that aren't working or producing revenue is more taxing than it should be
- Lot of these are general startup growing pains, but after a while it is exhausting
