Pros

- Talented and passionate contributors acorss engineering teams - Interesting technical challenges with opportunities to work on cutting-edge problems

Cons

- Engineering culture is highly top-down. Decision-making power is concetrated at the c-level, with little room for initiative for domain experts - CTO often overrides decisions without a solid grasp of the domain, resulting in misaligned priorities, inefficient use of resources, and minimal outcomes - This environment is especially frustrating for experienced engineers who are eager to make contributions but are consistently blocked by subjective opinions and non-technical decisions

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are pleased to hear that the passion our designers have for their craft is evident in their work. We recognise the importance of balancing business goals with the user-centric experience that defines our mission. We also want to take this opportunity to address your concerns about representation. While our company was founded by men, Flo is majority female in it's total headcount, majority female in its management population, majority female in direct reports to the CEO, and at gender parity at the Board of Directors. We remain committed to ensuring that women’s voices continue to define the future of our product and our company. We appreciate the time you spent with us and wish you the very best in your future career.
