🌶 Notion is a great place to work!
Glassdoor has voted Notion as the the 5th Best Small/Medium company to work for in the US. For a company that’s only gained traction in the last few years, this is amazing work from the Notion team, who I can vouch for are some of the most chill people I’ve met inside the tech space. Notion has had a culture of intentionality from day one which feeds down to everything from the product and workplace culture to the interiors. When you’re not running around trying to do everything and only focusing on things that match your alignment, it pays off. This actually goes hand-in-hand with a TikTok I made the other day about intentionality →
