Great place - Consultant bei Owner.com: Mitarbeiterbewertung

- Top-tier talent density, even relative to other well-regarded big tech firms - everyone here is really effective at getting things done and believes deeply in the company mission of helping small businesses succeed - Owner still has a long way to achieving its full growth potential, so still lots of equity upside to be had - Good work/high impact is well acknowledged and rewarded by leadership, especially with career growth opportunities - Great chance to grow your AI coding skills in a place that sees AI as a way to supercharge engineer capabilities rather than replace them

- Growing startup with high hiring standards means much more work to do than people to do it, so work can often get pretty intense. Not a place to rest and vest. - Working here is more of a long term bet. You could definitely make more $$ + liquid RSUs at a public company or a private one with buybacks, but if you believe the company will succeed within a decade, you’re joining early enough for your options to see significant gains. In the meantime, you gotta make do with the base salary.

Owner has the holy trinity of any start up: 1) a Mission that's real and helps normal people (not just people in tech) 2) rapid growth and financial success -- the fundamentals of the business are very sound, the leadership team is stacked. Founder / CEO is brilliant and human. 3) A pretty strong culture (if a bit uneven in pockets, see below). If you're an ambitious person who wants to be part of a winning company, feel good about the work you're doing / impact you're having, and like your co-workers, you will thrive at Owner.

The pace comments mentioned here aren't exaggerating. Only work here if you like working hard. You can have a full life: many successful people at Owner are involved parents or have busy lives outside of work. But they still work very hard. It's one of the reasons the company has been so successful. One other potential con is uneven-ness in management experience. This is not unique to Owner, any start up that is growing fast and promoting internally faces this issue. What it means is sometimes certain teams or people might have a different cultural experience than Owner's standard. But this should improve as the company matures and develops its leaders more consistently.
