Pros

Some very smart engineers, most of whom are great collaborators. Equity, but whether or not that every amounts to much is very much in the air (probably unlikely, really) Dependent on team, but a lot of autonomy and self-selection of stories.

Cons

Most of the OGs are gone, and with it a lot of the stellar leadership and glue that held things together. Company vision and direction have become scattered. Compensation is *wildly* uncompetitive as they are trying to pay Iowa salaries nationwide. My compensation nearly doubled when I took another remote position. Brady (CEO) is totally and laughably out of touch, he rarely addresses the entire company anymore, even at all-hands.

Pros

Initially flexible and easy to work for, great people to work with.

Cons

Leadership frequently made decisions to meet short term goals or to chase an attractive client at the cost of investment in foundational infrastructure. They could always push off a necessary backend update because a human could manually do it in the meantime, until that human is burnt out from doing the job of 3 people and barely getting a competitive salary for 1 of the roles performed.
