Pros

people are great & give you their time and attention wether senior or not. makes you want to work with/for them. hiring process has been smooth too. feels like not a one size fits all around here but making sure you do what you're good at.

Cons

bit of chaos- but people are aware of it and making it better. also hiring process was a couple of confusions with timings of meetings as I was hired for a US role based out of the UK.

Good Work with Great People

Pros

- Incredibly meaningful work. - A truly impressive technology stack. Nothing's perfect, but we make tradeoffs deliberately and are always mindful of scalability and accumulating tech debt. - Reasonable workload given the opportunity space and the urgency of the mission. Better work-life balance than most tech. - Great people. By and large everyone is confident and dedicated, and the org structure can flex to accommodate folks taking on projects in areas that interest them.

Cons

- Very entrepreneurial, which can feel unstructured sometimes. Great fit for someone that's intrinsically motivated and can structure their own work, but may be a challenge for people that want a task list to execute. - Salaries are lower than tech, though higher than a lot of other mission-driven work. Management has acknowledged this and communicated plans to address it.
