Pros

Eh, people are nice i guess. but really, there are not many pros. This company will not have a future, and their acquisition was the beginning of an end.

Cons

Literally a death magnet for a software engineer. Their tech stack, wtf? no applications in real industry. Their development process? pretty sure its just write a bunch of code and deploy when you feel like it. no product managers, no structure, no real future plans for expanding the product. in fact, their tech is so isolated and unlike anything else in the software engineering world (not in a good way) that i don't think they use a single piece of open source software. that might sound cool, no dependencies is a pretty good thing, but not when you find yourself reinventing the wheel for every tool that a good software engineer relies on. bottom line, this is where your career dies if you go here for software engineering.

Pros

- Competent co-workers - Good benefits - Competitive salary - Company events - Modern tech stack - Large addressable market (I think)

Cons

- The product was not viable - there were much better, more cost-effective options available - Some people had to use K, a language that only 1010 data uses

Pros

Great place to work for a long time.

Cons

Started fading pretty quickly after its acquisition by Symphony AI, unfortunately, with lots of staff turnover.
