Pros

SiFive is not that small of startup already. Nevertheless, the openness and collaboration across the board is overwhelming. You can reach out to any team member doesn't matter the seniority level and get feedback and inputs according to his specialty.

Cons

As any other Startup, SiFive phase is very fast and a lot of frequent changes happen on regular basis.

Pros

- Close interaction between teams; you aren't shoved into a silo where you never learn other teams' faces - Flexible work-from-home and remote options - Good recognition of developer initiative and discretion - Very friendly, welcoming, and supportive people, without divisive office politicking - Still got a startup's dynamic feel to the work, but has grown enough to have a solid foundation

Cons

- Pay varies based on employee location (which I support, adapting to cost-of-living) but without much transparency on how *much* of a cut you might take if you move further remote (which makes financial planning difficult) - Release candidates aren't always cleanly cut as the deadlines approach, leading to some churn as fixes and occasional features are finalized and backported to both main and versioned branches at once
