Pros

- Small teams with focused development - Product and Engineering managers act as glue between teams for larger projects - Engineering manager has two distinct roles: Project Manager & Talent Manager. Employees reporting to a manager may not work on the same project of his/her manager. Forces culture of building on the success of others and engages people manager to help employees to grow.

Cons

- Bad business - CEO removed cash/stock incentives while took big payouts

Everyone is very positive and nice. There's a ton of opportunity to make an impact with the scope and scale each employee is responsible for.

Product strategy seems frantic and directionless at times, although differs between product teams.
