Pros

Being as the engineering team is severely lacking in resources it does give you the opportunity and exposure to every facet of engineering from front to back end. There are a few exceptionally talented engineers there that I would love to work with again. There is not much red tape when it comes to researching and proposing new technologies to introduce into the stack.

Cons

Huge technical debt. The work life balance is horrendous. Both years I was there they put a freeze on vacation for months at a time on the engineering team to meet nearly impossible deadlines. I saw roughly 8 engineers leave in 2 years, quickly making me the most senior. I didn't mind the freeze on vacation days. What I did mind is the fact that they did not honor the vacation days that they "froze" or "stole". This brings up a trust issue that is the biggest concern in my eyes. I would find it difficult to recommend a company I do not trust.
