Pros

Speaking on the engineering side, there is a lot of autonomy. If you have an idea and some gumption you can make a big impact. Legacy parts of the stack are mostly deprecated and we have great tools and modern practices (lots of movement on this in last year or so). People genuinely aligned on the mission. Recent CTO placement (VP was acting as cto anyway) is great, both for the company and the general culture, especially for the engineering side.

Cons

Covid related layoffs were a big hit to morale. No extra pay for being on call. Some weird resistance to embracing a distributed team.

Pros

I joined the company as a Backend Software Engineer. Overall, I'd say the company had several strengths. The initial offer was competitive, and the role provided a strong foundation for developing my interpersonal skills. Working professionally means regularly collaborating with a wide range of personalities and navigating competing deadlines. Learned how to work well with others, regulate emotions and developed emotional distance between me and my work (matured as a professional a lot). I found that as long as deliverables were met, the work environment remained stable.

Cons

There was considerable turnover on the engineering team, which I understood to be related in part to concerns about the tech stack and the company's overall direction.
