CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to learn and grow. Amazing people. Beautiful building. Free lunches. Free breakfast, drinks and snacks. Great health insurance. Beautiful historical building which used to be a shipyard.

Cons

Fast paced startup culture which can be overwhelming for some. You are expected to work 50+ hours a week which can be difficult if you have a family.

An exciting, fast paced space hardware company in San Francisco

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart and capable staff. Willing to accept feedback and grow with it. Aggressive plans mean exciting opportunities. And space, how cool is that? Lots of cool opportunities to learn and grow in a faced paced environment with passionate folks in a cool location.

Cons

High expectations mean there is some potential for abuse of work/life balance. That said, it's possible to thread a balance. For some people this might not be the thing for you, and that's OK there are other places to work that aren't this high energy.

Business Outlook

Pros

This was one of the best companies I've ever worked for. I love their mission and their goals. Everyone I talked to works hard and wants to complete the mission so they can see their hard work payoff and get internet to the people who need it. It was fun working with smart people with innovative ideas.

Cons

The cons are what you would expect from a startup company (i.e., poor documentation, milestones not reached, etc.), but they are working on it, which to me is a sign of a good company.
