Pros

- Everyone is super nice and open to helping each other out - The product has matured a lot in the last couple years and there are a ton of exciting stuff in development - Healthy work/life harmony - Product and Engineering is very remote friendly - Exiting product opportunities and a lot of autonomy in how each squad gets to shape the product

Cons

- New design team means new design culture. It takes a lot of patience and tenacity to try to make a cultural change throughout the company - Not every department understands what design means just yet, but that can be said for any company; even "design-driven" ones. - Middle management is a bit lackluster - There's a bit of volatility and shake-up in leadership in all departments

Hi! Yes, there's been more than a bit of shakeup lately :) and we really hope everyone will hang in with us while we get settled and get to know each other. We see this as a Marketing/Brand led company and hope to infuse this everywhere. I've been at design-led companies in the past and it is really exciting! Career growth is a hot button for me and I'm starting to review each area and set a plan for what is needed. Feel free to ping me with your thoughts and we can map this together.

Pros

The people here are genuinely the best part. From day one, you're surrounded by smart, collaborative teammates who want to see each other succeed. Leadership is accessible and clearly invested in the company's direction. You never feel like you're working in the dark. Work-life balance is real, not just something they say in the interview. The remote flexibility is a huge plus and they actually trust you to get your work done. The mission itself is compelling, helping companies build better products through human insight is work you can feel good about.

Cons

Like any company in a growth phase, there's some change fatigue, things shift and you have to be adaptable. Cross-team communication can be inconsistent; sometimes you find out about things later than you'd like. Processes are still maturing in some areas, which can be frustrating if you thrive on structure. That said, these feel like the right problems to have for a company moving this fast.
