      Lack of systems, chronic overwork, but great people and interesting problems

      Pros

      -The work itself is very cool -All the folks at individual contributor levels are phenomenal to work with and create a fantastic collaborative culture

      Cons

      -Blue as a whole struggles with having global tools to track work so lots of work is tracked on individual spreadsheets and creates lots of opportunities for things to slip through the cracks which creates panic to claw back schedule -All schedules are grossly unrealistic leading folks to either struggle to hit these unrealistic timelines and burn out or laugh in the face of schedule and not have any real targets to work towards

      At the end of the day Treated like a number

      Pros

      Pay - negotiate for higher pay and a sign on bonus, they can ALWAYS go higher or add a bonus with amounts depending on position. You “feel” like you are really a part of the mission and valued. They hire 50% on if you are a fit for the position and 50 if you are a fit for the role, so study the mission and values and work them into your interview.

      Cons

      Absolutely NO security! You could be winning awards, going above and beyond what is required, but at the end of the day you are a number on a page and when, not if, cuts are made you better hope you are your manager’s favorite or your gone and will never return. Don’t dare take anything to HR! It will blow up in your face ! While you feel you are a part of something larger, those values and perfect culture aren’t actually real!
