Pros
It's never been better in year 3 of being at Mixpanel. There is more focus to the product, vision and growth of the company, coupled with the addition of charismatic leaders with experience scaling some of the world's most successful tech companies. Mixpanelers have always been fun, caring people to work with, but the culture has really improved in the last 6 months and there is renewed energy on the Go-to-Market team to make the most of the opportunity in front of us. It all adds up to an exciting year that will be surely filled with lots of rewarding work and the opportunity for every employee to make a significant impact.
Kontras
It's not a company for everyone. There are lots of interesting questions to solve and the recent leadership and culture changes create teams that work fast without fear to make mistakes (something like 50+ feature updates in 6 months). It's data informed and intelligent risk, but it does mean things can pivot quickly. If you're the type of person that gets overwhelmed when trying to prioritize work or requires handholding to do your job, depending on the department, it may be too much. I don't see this as a good or bad thing, but not all working styles will thrive here. Those that lead by example, play well with others, naturally curious, and don't shy away from taking ownership do better here.
