Pros

Good, competitive salary. Niche tech. Some colleagues are great to work with.

Cons

The engineering department had become quite toxic lately, credit to the CTO. Some colleagues were arrogant and had bad attitude. Lots of chop and change in terms of tools and processes. Work-life balance was non-existent in the entire engineering department. Everyone I knew (myself included) would work 12-15 hours all 7 days of the week. You have unlimited PTOs but taking time off was looked down upon. When you talk to the leadership about workload management and stress, they would respond by saying that everyone is doing 80 hour weeks, you are not an exception.

Very supportive management and team members. Healthy work environment. People strive to do their best

Cons

Startup in rapid upscaling mode so things can be a bit crazy at times. Nothing that isn't standard for a company in this stage of growth.
