Vantaggi
- Exceptional talent: The engineering bar is genuinely high. Working alongside sharp people keeps you motivated and accelerates your growth naturally. - Meaningful mission: Flo's mission is unambiguous and directly tied to real-world impact on women's health. It's work you can feel good about. - Pioneer mindset: Genuine commitment to cutting-edge tools and AI, and engineers are actively encouraged to innovate. - Compensation: Competitive, targeting the 50–75th market percentile, and it shows. - Work-life balance: Flexible and respectful. People work hard to meet their own goals, but there's no culture of pressure or overtime. - Career growth: Promotions happen, and people who perform are recognised. You may need to advocate for yourself, but that's true anywhere good. - Accessible leadership: Directors, VPs, and the CTO are approachable. Engineers can genuinely influence the product roadmap.
Svantaggi
- Prioritisation can shift: Context-switching happens and focus isn't always linear. Leadership is aware and tries to manage it but it's still something to be ready for. - Top-down at times: Some direction comes from leadership rather than organically from the teams. I think it's expected for a scaling startup still defining its edge, but worth knowing.
