Pros

The company is very transparent in terms of why we are focusing on certain things and what impact certain work is bringing to the company. The leadership within the engineering team has very good technical background, which helps with the career path and makes discussions happen really efficiently.

Cons

Nothing particular that I noticed. Would update if I find any.

Pros

I have not been this excited working somewhere since my first internship at a big software firm 15 years ago. We are helping bring complex abilities to the masses effectively raising the tide on the DevOps/CD world so even the smallest shop can deliver faster. The caliber of folks are high and the best part people are really approachable for advice/help/mentoring. True there is a low barrier to get "ship" done and improvement with iteration, etc. The velocity that the platform moves at is one to be admired. We get sprint release notes and wow, being in the software industry for a while never seen such cadence.

Cons

Joining an early stage start up, par for the course you can wear multiple hats and need to pivot fast. Though the team is there and have your back to be successful.
