Pros

The technologies being developed are great, and the folks behind them even greater. People are professional yet it still has that startup feel. I don't feel there are any silos between different teams. Most of my colleagues are incredibly smart and cool people. Executive updates are open and thorough.

Cons

Deadlines are too often pushed back. Executive updates look to be scheduled randomly. A few people don't follow basic engineering practices.

Pros

Some of the best people I've worked with.

Cons

Still a big mess sometimes - crawling out of the startup chaos. Also compensation is a little low, will see once we get a liquidity event.
