Pros

Great product, beautiful campus, 9/80 schedule, competitive pay and bonus

Cons

Grew a little too fast so the company is playing catch up. A very engineering driven (as opposed to Supply Chain driven) culture.

You’ve probably noticed we’re not just driven by engineers, but truly great, imaginative, innovative, open-minded engineers. It’s part of why we grew so fast, and still are. We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we upgrade the business systems and processes that support this amazing engineering culture

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
