Pros
At first it was a great experience. Top notch team of people coming together. Flexibility and lots of opportunities to travel and collaborate with coworkers.
Cons
The higher up management team seemed to work in packs that would always compete with one-another which created a toxic environment. Pure nepotism geared towards those in the family/friends club. The technology solution that I was a part of was designed by people that did not understand technology and engineers were forced to attempt to create the solution designed by non-technical people in a strict waterfall-like collection of requirements (disguised as Agile) that was endless. Engineers were not allowed to engineer alternate and more logical solutions and any attempt was met with hostility all the way up the line. It was my understanding this was sold to investors before engineers were even hired in house and they continued for 2 years to save face. At the end of the day, they fired the engineers who tried to make it work and then shifted the blame for their poor decision making. They brought in new engineers that basically had to start from scratch in the same situation. I wish them well.
