Business Outlook

Pros

Supportive, casual, and friendly vibes in the engineering org. The general tone is positive-but-not-saccharine. Very good experience as a remote employee, and video-heavy remote work culture. This feels like a safe environment for hard conversations and failure -- an extremely green flag.

Cons

Standard growth-stage startup growing pains -- but they're being handled as well as possible! Some of the ancillary benefits for engineers aren't on par with those of tech companies.
