Great team, hard problems, nice environment
Pros
The problems we tackle are both highly technical, world influencing and challenging. The Ann Arbor team stands out with its unique Midwestern approach within our Silicon Valley-headquartered company. This team not only thrives on the aggressiveness and growth opportunities but also values a gritty, straightforward 'work hard, play hard' midwest style. This mindset is a reflection of our company's culture, embodied by our CEO and CTO, who are Michigan natives.
Cons
Inter-office communication, particularly with non-headquarter offices like Ann Arbor, can be challenging at times. To help overcome this, staff in these offices are encouraged to travel and engage directly with team members. Additionally, while the Ann Arbor team's Midwestern distinction, as noted in the 'Pros,' is valuable, it's a bit of extra work to ensure that this uniqueness doesn't lead to a significant shift away from company values and objectives.
