Pros

You can work from home, the compensation and benefits are nice, and the people are (mostly) nice.

Cons

Unless you are one of the few people who has worked for MapLarge for 3+ years, you have no hope of lasting. There is a revolving door of people, most of whom are very talented, who the CTO quickly dismisses for not "integrating" well enough, despite the fact his expectations are as foggy as a San Francisco morning and as unexpectedly evolving as rapidly the influenza virus. Additionally, instead of spending fifteen minutes or so on the typical "standup" meeting, MapLarge has two such meetings that routinely last an hour long. The team is constantly in a hurry to get everything done, and this contributes to it.

Pros

The technology is cutting edge and ingenuity is highly encouraged. The culture promotes empowerment, giving employees the opportunity to lead when appropriate and support others when the mission calls for it. There is also opportunity to contribute to different programs in various capacities earing valuable experience outside of your core competencies.

Cons

There can be a steep learning curve when getting familiar with the various programs, technologies, and clients. However, support is available, and employees are willing to go out of their way to help one another.

Pros

- 100% Remote. - Extremely interesting and challenging problems to solve in the geospatial analytics space. - Get to rub shoulders with super smart and professional coworkers. - Excellent hardware and dev tools provided by the company.

Cons

Occasional tug-of-war between fast pace of growth and adherence to project management best practices, but this struggle is acknowledged and thankfully, management is committed to continual efforts to improve our processes as we grow.
