Pros

- Because it's a small company, you have the ability to directly impact direction - RL feels like we are at a point that SpaceX was at 5-10 years ago so there's a huge potential for growth here. - Restricted Stock Units make up for the lower salary, however, if you make it 4 years it's more than worth it and you come out ahead.

Cons

- PTO is way below average for the industry - Basic PPO Medical has a $4500 deductible so it's near ineffective unless there's a major health issue. - Interviewing process took 4 months - Don't only build out for what's needed today, think about what you will need the following year to avoid having to redo everything with upgrades. Basically try to avoid knowing rework in the future since that costs time and money.

Different shifts, free snacks, decent parking

Cons

Salary needs to be competitive. Mgmt needs a lot of work, HQ in Cali should wake up. Too much favoritism and nepotism.
