Compensation is definitely competitive. I was able to negotiate what I thought was fair and Donuts and I were able to agree. Equity is generous and benefits are really strong across medical, dental/ortho/vision, four weeks vacation for every employee regardless of tenure.
The environment is really good. People work in the office and from home in a responsible way. People are definitely collaborative, respectful and friendly. People eat lunch together, exercise together and generally like being together. The office space has been improved drastically which was needed.
The leadership team has very strong experience within and outside of our industry. They've all had solid stints at blue chip companies like Microsoft, Expedia, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, etc. They are clear about goals and fair about high expectations. They are real people and not jerks. I like that.
In order for us to be successful we have to work seamlessly across functions. So far almost everyone has that mindset and we've grown the business that way more than we had expected this year. Our team works hard, is productive, and really enjoys working together. My team is really strong.
