Pros

Things are constantly changing, there are a lot of smart people, the projects are cool, the customers i have been working with were great, you learn a lot, and it's super motivating to work with people that are super passionate about their jobs.

Cons

There is a lot of pressure to deliver. Timelines to deliver products to customers are often agressive. People that are not good with change and working in a dynamic environment probably wont feel comfortable at Ginkgo.

The company has been downsizing since I was hired, and everyone is perpetually terrified of losing their jobs.
