Not perfect, but a pretty great place to work

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Very collaborative culture - Friendly coworkers - Lots of talented people - Good compensation and benefits - Big focus on work life balance; the office empties out pretty quickly after 5

Cons

- Compared to most tech CEOs, Stewart isn't bad, but I don't think he's figured out how to be really effective at guiding an organization of our size. He still wants to micromanage. - We still write a lot of PhP - Slack is kind of behind the curve as far as using data

Business Outlook

Pros

- great benefits & pay - healthy work/life balance - mentorship & career development resources - commitment to diversity & inclusions - continuing education opportunities - cool, change-making product

Cons

- frequent change - working in a remote office (not SF) can seem exclusionary at times (but most internal teams in Denver are great & stick together)

Great momentum, fantastic culture

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

• Strong executive leadership pointing the company in the right direction • Best culture I've experienced so far -- the people I work with are driven yet compassionate -- we are expected to work hard and smart for 8 hours a day, then go home • Competitive compensation and benefits • Working on a product that's well known and loved by many people • Building a product that I use on a daily basis is exciting

Cons

• Frequent reorganizations and process changes, not surprising for a fast-growing company but could be annoying • On certain teams, there's a lot of tribal knowledge that makes it difficult for a newcomer to start contributing right away • People can be too nice to the point where difficult topics are avoided
