Growing Pains Minefield

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

- Fast growth means lots of room for career development - Reasonably good pay, great benefits and PTO - Lots of brilliant coworkers - Opportunities (sometimes involuntary) to wear a lot of hats - Post-startup culture means lots of flexibility... sometimes.

Cons

- Growing pains means lots of overcommitment on the part of management, paid off by "encouraged" unpaid overtime - Lots of junior hires without many mid-senior hires makes for nonexistent mentorship and a lot of terrible design/practice - Delivery and sales always prioritized over quality, operational integrity, or design - Heavy, pervasive culture of guilting and shaming of devs by management. You will be asked if you are a team player frequently, and rarely referred to as one.

Pros

* True meritocracy, which allows less experienced people to launch their careers * Smart and collaborative coworkers create opportunities for coaching * Extremely fast paced (also listed as a con, depending on what you like) * Hard but engaging problems to solve * Safe culture and environment to try new tech and sometimes fail * Responsive management

Cons

* Aggressively competitive at times * Extremely fast paced (also listed as a pro, depending on what you like) * Fast growth in team size has left some individuals bouncing between newly spun up teams a lot.

This is great feedback. Thank you for making time to share. We have a strong leadership development program that we're training all our managers on regularly. We will make sure your feedback is addressed there and elsewhere throughout the company. In addition, for all of our outside hires one of the primary criteria we assess is any candidate's leadership capability, and specifically their ability to mentor and develop their team members.
