Pros
Pindrop actually gets what innovation is about. You're really encouraged to try something new, and to fail along the way to achieving something great. I've never seen or worked for a company that is as focused on creating new market segments with real market-fit wins. From an outstanding research team, to the highly specialized engineering small teams, to the always-giving-120% customer success and support teams, to the top-notch sales team, topped off with a rare CEO. Its hard not to give your all when surround by such great people. Vijay is a technical CEO, that knows his industry and company's technologies, but he is in no way overbearing or egotistical, unlike most technical founders. He is visionary, level-headed, and humble.
Cons
There is some weird clicky groups of know-it-alls happening, but the growing culture is very open and welcoming which will eat those groups alive quickly. There's a significant lack of coconut water options amongst all the free food, drinks, Monday bagels, and Friday catered lunches.
