Pros

making strides in a positive direction with new leadership with more experience in the real world

Cons

mainly the ceo - as much as they talk about positive culture and values, there is too much blame coming from the top as the ceo is very particular on certain things and is quick to find problems or errors, but not solutions or recognize when things are done right. if you work to hire really good employees, let them do their job, and learn the people skills to lead them and learn to be less aggressive. also some serious concerns with recruiting and the approach of their main recruiter. i am not sure if he was trained properly but he was a bit passive with my interview, hung up on me at one point and did not seem to appraciate my bringing up work life balance which is a reasonable question

Pros

You'll get a lot of ownership of a piece of their product right away and be expected to drive the development on your own. Lots of opportunities to go watch robots execute the software you've written which I found super exciting. Nimble definitely embraces the "move fast and break things" mantra in the best way Also the office is in SoMa in San Francisco and is easy to commute to from most of SF by bike/bus/car which allows you to live in some beautiful neighborhoods

Cons

Lots of folks work well over 40 hours a week (also kind of a pro; your coworkers will push you to be better and believe in the company's vision). Although honestly most people generally drew the line in the 50-60 hours a week range which still allows you to have a life outside of work. Things can feel disorganized at times with priorities shifting radically week to week. Again, I think this is quite common with tech startups
