Pros

Foundry works on some amazing tech, in a very cool industry. I've been privileged to build teams of brilliant people who developed tools that made a real impact. HR genuinely supported teams and people, sometimes in unique and life-changing ways that were not expected. Foundry places a strong focus on professional growth. Over the many years I had a string of exceptional managers who I could trust and learned a lot from. On the Leadership side, one thing I loved: Executive Leadership fostered a culture of transparency, which made team management and leading change far easier.

Cons

Internal investment for new or existing projects can be slow. The org structure sometimes makes it hard to progress. The company is centred on their flagship product "Nuke", which can make it difficult if you're working on something else. Too many meetings.
