Pros
Metalenz has a great company culture, fantastic benefits, and is truly a fantastic place to work. Even though it is a small startup it prioritizes a positive work/life balance, which is rare given the push to productize as quickly as possible. Some specifics include: - Benefits: great commuter benefits, competitive employer contributions to retirement & a HSA - Culture: many kind, intelligent, and driven people who are always happy to collaborate to move projects forward - Technical Work: challenging and interesting work to try to commercialize a budding technology for mass market consumer devices - Work/Life Balance: demands ebb & flow naturally with product deliverable deadlines, management is understanding and encouraging when time off is needed
Cons
As with many small & growing companies, some processes are not yet formalized and sometimes critical documentation is limited or non-existent. Communication between teams is critical and if/when things slip through the cracks it can have significant impacts on timelines and project success/failure. Sometimes staff changes can happen quickly and seemingly out of nowhere with little-to-no explanation which can be a bit unnerving.
