Pros

Honestly, the product is great and has fabulous potential. Customers love it. The pay is good along with the benefits. Decent worklife balance too. I see a strong future for the company but...there is a but.

Cons

Poor management decision making. People get promoted to management based on tenure in the company and not on skill and capability to do the actual job. It is truly a poor workplace unlike anything I have ever experienced. Micromanagement is rampant by managers who are new to the job and have had zero ( I mean ZERO!) training! They know who they are too. Business model is poor. Too many free features to the point where the majority of customers can actually use the product for free and never plan to spend any money at all....These same customers consume SOOO much internal resources at no expense to the customer but at a heavy cost to internal developers and support teams. Protect your company's time! I would avoid this company at the moment if you value your mental health. A few people have went out on leave and never returned. Opting for other roles after being burnt out!

Pros

WorkOS is an exciting place to work. The company is grown quite a bit the past year, and seems to have a bright future ahead of it. Everyone on the team has a "get things done" attitude. All of the managers lean towards "high trust" and providing autonomy to reports. If you want to focus on building things in an environment that prioritizes quality, this is the place for you.

Cons

Like any startup at this stage, there are some growing pains. With so many new folks joining, management still needs to find the right processes to make scaling the organization smooth.
