Pros

- You might pick up a few tidbits for your career since they exploit one person to do the work of three in their startup chaos. - The non-management folks I worked alongside were the only saving grace, decent human beings trapped in a corporate nightmare.

Cons

- Expect to sacrifice every nights and weekends as a standard practice. - KPI and performance review used as threat in every meeting. - The CEO peddles fantasies and phantom products, leaving the RD team in the dark until the eleventh hour, delaying projects with daily design changes. - Push out half-baked Rev A products, churning out thousands of units even if they require extensive rework. Any improvement and bug fixes are discouraged. - Biannual reorganizations shuffle clueless individuals into management roles, Disruptive shuffling of team and leaders. - A tribal, venomous work culture thrives, where helping other teams requires a permission slip from your manager. - Performance Review was manipulated to suppress bonus. They give out a smile and praise your hard work, yet manipulated review score before submitting to CEO for suppressed bonus/raise evaluation.

Pros

If you're looking for a place where there is a shared common goal of being successful, this place is for you. If you want a place that you can learn under some true giants in the space, people with decades of knowledge & experience, and hard workers--this place is for you! My time here has been nothing short of incredible, the opportunity to execute & succeed is unparalleled. The organization is flat so you have a voice that is heard all the way to the CEO, where you can make real change. Each day is something exciting, and each day I feel rewarded for the effort that I put in--hard work NEVER goes unnoticed here! Your peers are truly exceptional, everyone inspires to want to be the best version of yourself.

Cons

This place isn't full of handholding, the company is on a path for greatness with extraordinary individuals--BEWARE, spending too much time around this many exceptional people may accidently make you exceptional too if you let it!

Pros

Leadership has made real, noticeable strides in improving the culture. If you've read older reviews, I'd encourage you to weigh recent ones more heavily — the software teams in the company today are meaningfully different and continuing to move in the right direction. If you want to actually build things — not just maintain someone else's legacy codebase — this is the place. I've gotten to architect and ship large-scale systems from zero to one on a small, agile team where your work has immediate, visible impact. There's no hiding behind layers of process here. You own your work end to end, and that level of autonomy has accelerated my growth more than any big-company role could have. The IoT technology is legitimately fascinating. This isn't another SaaS CRUD app — you're working at the intersection of hardware and software on problems that are technically challenging and commercially meaningful. I've also gotten far more exposure to the business side than I ever expected as an engineer. You understand why you're building what you're building, and that context makes the work more rewarding.

Cons

If you're coming from a large company and need highly structured processes, defined career ladders, and established playbooks for everything, this will be an adjustment. The tradeoff for autonomy and speed is the extra difficulty of working through ambiguity. Personally I see that as a positive, it's one of the most important skills to improve — but it's worth knowing what you're signing up for, it isn't easy.
