Pros

- Small, close-knit team looking to move fast - Mission is to reduce risk and save lives - Lots of ownership and independence for each person, and it is coupled to strong strategy and vision - Genuine group of good people who like working together - Great new office when you want to come in and comprehensive remote strategy when you don't

Cons

There is 10x more work to do than we have people, so the pressure to perform is high. For a small company, we are somewhat widely distributed already which can occasionally be challenging with time zones and collaboration.

Pros

- Excellent Leadership - Focussed Business Strategy - Upward Mobility within Company - Unlimited PTO - Company Culture Defined by Supportive Employees and Hard Work

Cons

This is a small company looking to grow. It requires a lot of grit and hard work. If you're just looking for a simple 9-5, this company probably won't be for you.

Pros

This is a good company for someone who wants to waste their days away in a cold, dreary office with negative executives who constantly belittle their employees in the name of 'intensity'... Really good comp.. or it was, atleast. I'm pretty sure they've gotten worse since I left. Money isn't worth misery

Cons

Long work days - they expect you to work well past 5 PM and publicly shame if you don't They are revenue driven in the worst way They let people go constantly with very little insight into why - I left on my own, but know of multiple people who were cut off cold turkey for very little reason besides budget and reorg The CEO bullies and belittles employees constantly - and it WAY too involved in sales/engineering. Doesn't let the VPs do their job properly and confuses employees with back and forth If you value your personal life, I'd steer very clear of this place
