Pros

The product and market opportunities are great

Cons

I think going forward these guys are going to have a hard time growing if management stays the same. The founders are all engineers who found themselves in leadership roles, and try really hard to act like business leaders. Yet, sadly they are stuck in an engineer's mindset, and are stubborn and keep on insisting on strategies that don't work. Insecurity and lack of trust basically runs through the system. You don't know if what you are told is true. The CEO is not empowering other leaders to do their job and keeps clawing back control. There is a lot of overstepping happening from high level in other teams.

Pros

Supportive C Level, great work-life balance, incredible growth and opportunities right now, nimble in the product, customer centric

Cons

Formal processes around on-boarding are lacking, the tools to do your job are available but somewhat difficult to acquire (a lot of manual steps)

Pros

The company people are great there, there is a good conversation between peers and pretty upbeat.

Cons

There are too many meetings, they are still developing a product and have no real directions. The management has no idea what the worker bee's are doing. They will say one thing and do another. Honestly avoid this place if you want to keep your sanity.
