Vantaggi

+ Fast paced environment. Requirements can come quick when a new client onboards, and that is happening more and more often as the company grows. There are not a lot of dull moments. + Small team with very little bureaucracy. Things that need to get done can just be done without the need to go through a lot of overbearing process. The processes that do exist can also evolve if they aren't working out. + Technically challenging problems, with a lot of potential to learn. The product grows very fast, which means there is a lot of opportunity to learn about new technologies and apply it in a real-world setting. + Mature leadership that doesn't burn people out. Both co-founders encourage vacations. There are no constant death marches. The back-to-hybrid process has been very well-handled. + Friendly people and non-toxic culture.

Svantaggi

In the end, this is a start-up. There are going to be smart and capable people who see the above list of pros and say "no thanks." If you aren't a self-starter or require a lot of direction, you may want to consider joining at a later stage.

Vantaggi

Truly special product and team. Great SaaS business traction and an amazing group of people to work with. Here's a shortlist of top pros, although honestly - Repeat co-founders: they aren't making mistakes that first-time founders routinely make, and they really invest in growing the team internally rather than always hiring in more senior leadership - Autonomy & ownership: startups are chronically short-staffed so we're always looking to hire, but teammates are always willing to step up and gap-fill in the meantime. - Interesting product/technical challenges: we're building new category-defining software so there are a lot of important, interesting problems to solve. - Work-life balance: it is a startup so there is occasionally more work than a typical big company gig. However, it was a good sign to me when I first signed that both founders and many employees have young families. People respect family time and also encourage people to fully unplug on vacation. - Great culture: we've always been remote-friendly (Canadian engineering presence) so we've invested a lot in both in-person and remote social activities. Geoguessr, cofounder-hosted trivia, Halloween costume contests, as well as coworker self-organized events happen regularly. - Social proof: we've grown a large portion of the team through internal referrals. People really love working here and want to get their friends and former coworkers to join them!

Svantaggi

- B2B SaaS software (especially for specific markets like sales and customer support) is not seen as sexy by engineers so it's hard to recruit outside of our networks
