Pros

Fast moving company with an ambitious product vision. Pragmatic engineering culture focused on shipping and moving the business forward. Despite being an early stage startup, the company has a real business model, revenue, and customers, which keeps the technical work grounded in reality. One of the most diverse engineering teams I have worked with.

Cons

Mostly the usual startup issues -- a fair amount of churn on strategy from quarter to quarter as the business priorities necessarily shift. Still trying to find the optimal customers and market to serve, and the product has to evolve quickly to satisfy these goals. Many challenges stem from balancing the operations and service teams with the technology ones -- steering the business to operate as a software company rather than a managed service company brings some growing pains. Have also had some issues with exec-level hiring and retention.

Pros

Meaningful mission in a space that actually matters. Strong cross-functional team with smart, collaborative people. Real ownership and autonomy across the board. Fast-moving environment where you can grow quickly if you're self-directed.

Cons

Startup pace means processes and tooling are still maturing. If you prefer a highly structured environment, the ambiguity can be an adjustment.

Pros

Ok pay, I heard they have good pto.

Cons

Leadership is toxic. The actual good people get burnt out and end up leaving. They do outsourcing to India and they're HORRIBLE!
