Pros

Great environment for experienced engineers. Very fast paced startup. Engineers here have great opportunities for taking on product ownership and work on a wide variety of things. Coworkers are really talented, humble and nice engineers.

Cons

Nothing really, sometimes a little bit chaotic but nothing out of the ordinary.

Pros

Potential to work for a place with a good opportunity to become an industry leader, or at least go public

Cons

* Company tripled in size after a merger in early 2026, and leadership hasn't yet figured out the necessary new behaviors and processes. * Extremely tops-down culture: Expectations to drop everything and pivot when execs have a random thought that they're too busy to clarify impedes progress towards a healthy "ownership mentality"
