Pros
- Remote first - People are great, generally the team is great - Truly diverse workforce - Can see it mature as a company - Fantastic opportunity (enabling remote workforce/companies to hire from anywhere)
Cons
- By far the biggest con is the pay and workload. Read: you get paid on global benchmarks, so for anyone in the U.S. you WILL be underpaid. By a lot actually. So relative to any other fast-growing startup the pay sucks. - It's full of chaos like the classic startup, and then some. - They pitch stock options and even have an excel sheet to reference to calculate the value of your potential options. If you've been in startups, then you know this is smoke and mirrors -- not until you IPO is it worth anything, or if they allow you to sell in a secondary. It's also far along that the delta between your strike price and the offer is low.
