Genuinely one of the best places I've worked - Software Developer Jane App Employee Review

Okay, calling Jane "genuinely one of the best places I've worked" less than a year in, and then basically having nothing to complain about? Now that's kinda amazing 🥹 . I'm phil, I work on the People side of things at Jane, focused on how people grow and build thriving careers here. You're experiencing Jane at a particular moment, one where we're moving fast, betting big on AI, and asking our Engineering team to hold a lot of ambiguity while we figure out what the next version of Jane looks like. The fact that what you've found is great people, meaningful work, and a culture that actually shows up the way it was described in your interview means we're doing some stuff right! I also appreciate you naming the competitive compensation. I know first-hand how hard it is to get this right having played a part in scaling our compensation frameworks at Jane. Paying folks fairly in the wild job market of tech is so tricky, in some ways, it can feel like we're never getting it right cause it's shifting all the time. So I'm glad to hear that it's landing for you. And those perks... I mean, just look at how spoiled we were at our company retreat this past week 🤩 ! So many folks refer to how different it is to work at a company where you actually feel cared for. I would agree that this definitely makes Jane stand out. It's such a tricky harmony to land where people feel cared for while still upholding a strong culture of hard work, accountability, and delivering results. We choose to do it all, and not compromise on care or delivering strong results. One of my favourites stats from our company health check is how high we continuously score on "my manager cares about me as a human being" - 96% in our last survey! The thing you named about transparency, knowing what's going on and why decisions are being made, I think that clearly came through in our company retreat this past week. There's a real commitment from Ali and Trevor to bring people along rather than hand down conclusions, and I think you're seeing that. Engineers at Jane sit close to some genuinely hard tradeoffs, speed versus quality, stability versus innovation, and the fact that those tradeoffs feel visible and honest to you rather than hidden or spun is what we need to protect as we grow. I'm glad you're here, and if ever you wanna grab a coffee to share more about what your first year has actually looked, I'm here for it! I hope you Jane journey is filled with much more learning and growth to come ☺️ . - phil
