Full of amazing potential that has been poorly managed

Business Outlook
Pros
Employees are well-compensated. Work hours are flexible. The people you work with day-to-day are wonderful. Exposure to an essential sector of the economy that many people in tech are completely unfamiliar with.
Cons
Company has dealt with an identity crisis that it still hasn't solved. This has led to tragic mismanagement of time, energy and resources, especially wasted potential.

Great mission, priorities change quickly at expense of stability

Business Outlook
Pros
Good culture and work/life balance. Great overall mission of reducing carbon emissions in farming and getting farmers paid more. Engineering and DevOps generally maintain a good developer experience no matter what division you're in. Good health and vacation benefits, no 401k match. I would work for them again despite the cons below and I think that's a pretty big pro. Business seems to be veering towards verification (think "organic" labeling but for "sustainability"). Take that as a neutral remark.
Cons
The company has gone through several stages of product ideation and iteration. It is still recovering from the last stage ending 2020-ish that I'll dub "try everything and hope it makes money somehow we have $1B let's spend it." The nature of the current stage is annual mass layoffs (last three years at least) and aggressively cutting products and headcount in a manner Jack Welch would approve of. I'm almost certain stack ranking is done in this effort. Engineering management generally has their act together and are good advocates for engineering when necessary. Cannot faithfully say the same for upper management as they'll pretend everything is good and sunny until the second it's time to cut headcount. Engineering has reinvented the wheel more than once. Data science and geospatial groups are very silo'ed.
