Pros

- Opportunity to work on big, challenging consumer problems - Flexible work environment - Ability to work remotely anytime, anywhere - Big company benefits, startup culture - Really feels like they care about your growth, development, and satisfaction in the job - They care about where you're at in your life, very supportive as I've become a new parent

Cons

- A sense of building the plane while you're flying it. In a bigger company, there are a lot of things already in place. Here, everyone is figuring things out as we go. A fun part of the challenge for sure, but can be disorienting when you first start here. - Developing product is a new muscle. This is great, you can define how it should work. But there are also some habits I was accustomed to that I had to work through evaluating and either eliminating or improving across the board. - When working remote, takes extra work to figure out what's happening in HQ.

Pros

As the Wilbur Labs CTO, I'm first and foremost thankful for the environment that the founders have created. I'm surrounded by smart, talented people with strong sensibilities who support and challenge me. It's a wonderful place to be. Despite being part of the team for less than a year, I have facilitated the launch of two new businesses that are already on track for success. Both products have been fantastic lessons in entrepreneurship and resourcefulness. I was able to use my skills and experience to set up the businesses for success while simultaneously learning how Wilbur Labs is able to repeatedly build profitable businesses that customers love. It's great to see how Wilbur Labs is committed to engineer happiness. Best practices are encouraged and top-of-the-line equipment is provided without hesitation. And the benefits are top-notch, too.

Cons

As the Wilbur Labs businesses grow and expand, the team can sometimes experience growing pains in organization and communication. Fortunately, this is a common theme among startups, and the management team is doing a great job of addressing it.
