Vantaggi
- A deeply empathetic team of VPs. - Incredible team culture. - Fantastic work-life balance, with no unrealistic expectations and none of the stress and baggage of unicorns. Family comes first. - Experience with being remote-first for years in a world that's still trying to catch up with going remote. - Extreme exec team transparency around financials, business planning and strategy. - Feels like a year-one startup despite years of business: same excitement and glow - Bootstrapped, and not beholden to outside interests besides those of their customers
Svantaggi
- Minimal benefits for US employees - International employees bereft of even those minimal benefits due to functioning as contractors - No salary transparency/standardization (typical of US private sector) - Limited career growth options within the company - Feels like a year-one startup despite years of business: same strategic immaturity and extremely slow growth due to bootstrapped approach yielding reduced funding. - Ruins you for working in businesses without the same level of transparency and empathy (I had to include something half-positive, as the above cons are dramatically offset by the pros)
