Pros

You get to work with some smart people

Cons

There have been reviews that state that the engineering team is treated better than operations teams, I'm here to state that this is also false. There is a non-negligible chance that if you are an engineer, you will go to federal prison. No need to share names, but it has been covered in the news. Why risk your freedom for some stock options of a company that isn't scalable? They are literally a consulting shop posing as a SaaS company. They heavily rely on contractors paying them barely livable wages from developing countries to draw boxes around objects.

Pros

- It’s rewarding to see our work directly affecting both commercial and government sectors. The reach of our technology is real and immediate. - Despite the pace, there is a strong sense of teamwork. People are willing to jump in and solve problems together. - Because the organization is still maturing, there are opportunities to build systems from the ground up. If you enjoy "interesting" work that involves creating a solid foundation rather than just maintaining one, this is the place to be.

Cons

- We are still a relatively immature organization in terms of processes. We are very much "getting our feet under us," which can lead to some internal questioning. - Decisions are made very quickly. While agility is a strength, there are times when we move a little too fast, potentially overlooking long-term scalability for short-term wins.
