Pros
The work is very rewarding. Nauto is right on the edge of innovation, pushing the envelope on IoT, AI on the edge and real-time data processing. You can wear many hats and get involved wherever you can help aside from your main tasks. I have seen company initiatives grow out of side-projects and hackathons here. The company definitely went through rough patches, but that's how it is in a Startup. It is not for everyone but it is super rewarding. Especially when things go well. As the title says, it is a true Silicon Valley Startup (I have been in others) It is hard work, it is pushing through difficult problems, it is fixing new problems again and again, it is celebrating success because everyone wins, it will make you grow personally, it is not a 9-5 standard job, it is making friends for the long run because you are going through it together and you will share these stories. And most of all, at Nauto, it is saving lives.
Cons
We have a lot of opportunities and need to make very hard decisions about focus. We haven't done so well in that regard and still need to improve. We found product market fit, now it is time to stay the course and not to "get distracted".
