Pros
- A ton of interesting, thoughtful, kind, and committed people. It's not a typical Silicon Valley company mono-culture. - Generous, experienced, and skilled technical talent to collaborate with - People actively improve and fix processes, code, and environments as problems come up. - You will have a lot of autonomy to make the decisions you think are best - Personal and professional boundaries are respected - Mission-oriented, with thoughtful KPI's designed not to hijack attention and engagement - Local development can be quite nice with lots of batteries-included things to make engineering easier - Benefits, healthcare, and time-off (the average amount taken by employees) are very good, especially for company of this size.
Cons
Typical startup things: - tech debt, especially on the frontend. - some disorder with scaling up, slowing execution - unclear strategic roadmap until recently
