Pros

Market is ready for the scale, company has the advantage of being first People are hard working and sincere Customers love the product

Cons

Strong CEO: Leadership is home-built, and wobbly run mostly by founding CEO, who runs the show, but no one stands up to tell him the view of the world. Weak Support : Lot of customer traction, but product is not built for troubleshooting, engineers tend to push stuff to support, and support is struggling. Fragile future : Becoming IKEA, of building products, with top-down dates, will lead to quality, as its more driven to deliver quantity and speed. Haven't transitioned from startup to public company yet, carrying bad stuff startup (adhoc) and bad stuff of public (numbers focused) companies. Team is burnt-out after covid, but no culture that makes the leadership aware of the costs Lastly, poor diversity, mostly indian "tribes" and white boys "clubs" duking it out.

Pros

The pay and ESOP is good

Cons

Toxic management structure. Unnecessary archaic practices. Employee feedback is not at all considered by the upper management. If you get a bad manager, there is nothing more you can do.
