Pros
I recently joined Standard Bots after working at another ambitious startup. However, Standard Bots is far ahead in many areas. They have a dedicated sales and solutions team, stable software that can handle real-world tasks, a shop team focused on efficient hardware assembly, and most importantly, real customers using our products. This demonstrates a higher level of maturity compared to many other startups. This is my first remote position, and I was initially unsure about how it would work. However, the people here are fantastic to work with. They are talented and easy to interact with. Management has set ambitious goals and effectively communicated them to employees. The CEO is definitely sharp and has some inspiring ideas, however, he is not a dictator. If you come to him with a good argument, he'll listen and often change course. It's motivating to see the impressive work coming from the different teams.
Cons
As projects and goals accumulate, you can get spread somewhat thin. This is common and nearly unavoidable in start-ups though.
