Pros

- The company was in the maintenance mode for a few years with minimal growth, but the leadership made the tough calls to proactively bring back the team to startup rhythms. - the product / problem space is very niche so you don't feel threatened by every new release by major frontier labs.

Cons

- A lot of people joined the company during the maintenance mode so the team has mixed feelings about the recent culture shifts. If you want to work hard in an early-stage startup, those changes are not a con at all, but those who liked the stability from the previous era, the company feels meaningfully different.

Great culture, fast-growing company, kind and compassionate mentors, wonderful leadership team.

Cons

It was an entirely remote program, but I'm sure going forward it will be hybrid.
