Pros
vercel doesn't just talk about being AI native, they embody it. they operate as a fast paced high growth startup and that can be disorienting if you are coming from a big tech/slow moving org. process is not the favorite word here, and I personally love it because it gives teams flexibility to operate and own any amount of scope without overthinking it (they just need to know they have the power to build). engineering bar is one of the best I have seen, and that extends to some recent engineering leadership hires too. the EPD org cares about the work and each other, and what Vercel wants to be for the current and next class of entrepreneurs. The environment is high trust, and collaborative and you can have a high impact early on, so whether you like to work on your own or with a team, there is space for both. their demo days are one of my favorite things in the company right now.
Cons
The flip side of the company moving very fast is it can be overwhelming to keep up. pace yourself and focus on what matters for the company and your team, and you will do just fine. AI has sped up a lot of teams, so code review speed can be up and down.
