Hot Technology Startup with a Team Having a Proven Track Record

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very cool technology - scalable, high-peformance cloud security solution. Good market traction and rapidly growing customer base. Lots of talented engineers with strong engineering leadership. CEO has a proven track record for funding and leading several companies. Stock is not diluted with lots of rounds of VC funding rounds.

Cons

Very aggressive work culture - not for the faint hearted. Sink or swim attitude has caused a few burnouts. Benefits and vacations are paltry.

Pros

Good technology 2-3 years ago, but minimal change means they are now lagging. A few big name customers

Cons

* High staff turnover, including executive staff * Lack of clear team leads with ownership and accountability. * Atmosphere is disrespectful with emphasis on being loud and hero of the day. * New hires are helpless and flounder around without documentation and mentors. * Senior developers do not lead by example. * Not a fun place to work. * Lack of standardized configuration and test beds available to all developers. * Tightly coupled system is hard to test. * Lots of wasted cycles over infrastructure, network and connectivity issues. * Company has made several penny wise, pound foolish decisions on equipment for developers. * Lack of proper planning – PRD reviews, design discussions/reviews, code reviews and completion estimates from developers. * Lack of discipline in branching and code commits. * Lack of single standardized tool for full release visibility. * Lots of interrupts from production support. No clear escalation path. * Unrealistic release dates with no plan for QA. Developers expected to rubber stamp arbitrary estimates.
