Pros

- Fast growing company with strong products and happy customers - People are friendly, open and willing to work together - Fun environment, great perks, nice offices -- people are always grabbing drinks locally or on the 7th floor - Awesome product talent -- the hack weeks are so much fun

Cons

- Management turnover as the company scales -- some of the folks that grew the company to this point struggled to scale. New CEO and leaders bringing experience and focus, but it causes temporary disruption. - Always new challenges in the market, which causes some churn, but that is life in tech. Need to be comfortable with uncertainty.

Pros

Very useful product, customers legitimately get a lot of value even with high prices. Fair amount of different technology problems to interact with. Individual contributors are often helpful. Overall this is about as good as you can imagine a mid-size enterprise software shop could be. There's a dream that it's still a fun company, but it's just a company, which isn't a bad thing.

Cons

No longer able to hear the needs of customers, who want usability and reliability. Dysfunctional waterfall process produces poorly integrated features instead. Industry best practices on scope management and quality are given lip service, but not actually followed. Technical debt is fairly high. New projects often struggle with politics and process.
