Pros

1. Surprisingly high quality engineers, at all levels, starting from college 2. Founders involved in everything, giving it a startup feel 3. Founders get along, and so do other old-timers, creating a collaborative yet intense culture. 4. Management is business-minded, high confidence of a successful IPO and future growth

Cons

1. Dev infra is hodge-podge 2. Some decisions take longer due to consensus building.

Pros

- Great leadership team - Great technology - Financially disciplined management team - Open and honest corporate communications - Technology and solutions that provide real, measurable value to customers. - Friendly, collaborative culture - everybody wants to help.

Cons

Not so much a con as a warning - this is hard work. There's more to learn than is reasonable, the pace of change is blinding, and the founders are clearly driving towards a goal with everything they've got. The culture reflects that - there's always more to learn, or do, and lots of opportunity to help out other folks that are in the same position. Goals are aggressive - sales goals, engineering goals, everything, and we all believe that we can make it happen. But that means hard work and dedication. It's tough to get hired here, and when you do, they expect a lot. If you're not ready for that, if you're not at a place in your life where you can put in the extra effort, it might not be the place for you.

Pros

Really high bar for hiring, so very smart people to work with Heavy "customer usage journey" driven product development Has the best practices from Google, Amazon and Microsoft Remote work and hybrid available Crystal clear objectives provided by management

Cons

Convenience of large firms is amiss since a lot needs to be setup for newer channels of work Good benefits but not great
