Pros

Small company, you can make a big impact as an individual. Cool products in an interesting market.

Cons

Pay is just "OK" for the industry, making recruiting top-talent very hard. Poor management decisions put them in a position where they are constantly fighting fires just to get back to a stable state.

Pros

Great culture. People are humble.

Cons

In some teams engineers have to find projects themselves instead of waiting for roadmap which is good also but sometimes frustrating.

Pros

Good work. Passionate people. Good product. Remote.

Cons

Some bad managers. They lost their footing resulting in lack of company vision. Struggled to find working styles that elevated the company (they wanted to grow yet operate like a start up)
