Pros
- Smartest and most humble colleagues in all divisions - Leadership is very transparent with direction and goals - Ability to work on impactful projects and you are able to relate to the vision (ex. a drone alarming a nearby fire = saving tons of land, preventing forest fires, and saving many firefighters) - Competitive compensation with a strong upside on equity - Quality over quantity in hiring and projects - A diverse customer market that allows the company to overcome many economic challenges - 1 week shut down week during Q2 to give everyone time off - Work hard because everyone wants to, not because they have to - Company does a great job in improving areas that are lacking ( ex. DEI - company focused on increasing diverse candidate pool which led to many diverse hiring in the past few quarters). - Despite being a "startup", the company was able to overcome the pandemic, supply chain, chip shortage, and economic downturn challenges (the company went from 100 people at beginning of the pandemic to now 600 employees - many from FAANG). - Consistently raised new rounds of funding from reputable investors
Cons
- still a startup that moves very fast, and sometimes lacks structure and processes - location is far from public transportation
