Pros

Good colleagues who are very technically competent, a lot of opportunities to grow your technical capabilities. A lot of employee engagement initiatives, including sports and interest groups. Despite my criticism I would still suggest spending some time working here to learn from colleagues.

Cons

Senior leadership doesn’t inspire confidence, they say questionable things (like promoting inter office relationships, suggesting that employees should be pushing for 12 hour days). During promotion review they give very poor feedback, apparently the CTO looks at your number of commits as an indication of your performance. Most senior management seem like young people who got promoted fast when the company was small and starting out. Lots of changes in team structure that are made quickly and then reverted, this makes it hard to progress in your career. Churn rate is very high.

Pros

You are the good guy: a software first company where you protect people from the bad guys. You control your software and are not forced to inject extraneous industry buzzwords.

Cons

Pay is on the lower end of the spectrum and despite stellar company performance, raises are hard to achieve.
