Pros

Incredibly important and relevant mission to reduce gun-related deaths between police and public - easy to get behind that! Great co-workers. Competitive pay and benefits.

Cons

Still some growing pains (good problem to have). Way too many communication tools. Tight-knit and unique culture has suffered some due to growth and switch to hybrid work (but we're still winning awards for workplace culture). High performance / all-in culture can foster burnout.

Pros

People work tremendously hard here because they want to, they aren't forced to. Everyone is genuinely motivated by the mission and has the profound pleasure of seeing the positive impact the company's products make on society and their communities. The result of this is that the majority of employees and leaders park their egos at the door and focus on collaborating for the best possible outcomes. Also, the benefits are good in the UK. The company provides regular performance and career reviews, which include pay enhancements, and the leaders make an effort to take care of you and listen. The leadership are very transparent and you see the culture changes and efforts they make very quickly run down into the wider organisation. Overall, the atmosphere is a very positive and driven one. I have never worked at a place quite like it and I am very grateful to be here.

Cons

For a company of this size, the processes and controls are not as well-defined as I would have expected. For me, this is a pro as I like an agile startup atmosphere where I can influence building processes and flexibly navigate complex problems but I could foresee this being a con for many others who would be making moves from larger tech companies that we targeting candidates from.
