hard work is rewarded, but be ready for it
Pros
this is one of the best places in SV for folks who want to work hard & accelerate quickly in their careers (i.e. larger scope, faster path to TL + manager). the pace here is VERY fast - as a restless person this is the perfect environment for me to see the return on a lot of effort. i think particularly for junior folks or people who have been in bigger tech environments & want to experience a more frictionless environment, this will be a good fit. also the snacks & drinks are god-tier.
Cons
because you will be rewarded for hard work, it can be easy to burn out here. you should only join applied if you trust your own ability to self-regulate. there is lots of work to go around here, so you have to be conscious about protecting your time. your requests will be respected, but you're your own best advocate.
