Pros

Company is becoming IPO ready kudos to Sales and Marketing

The Sales teams are doing a great job.

Cons

Engineers generally have a miserable and chaotic life

Leadership is not building for the future, mostly focus only on the short-term

No QA team. No standard on testings. Nada

Ship fast = ship now + test later

On-call means fire-fighting, patching and working around the untested stuffs

Little regards to security i.e. every new hire downloads a snapshot of the production database to their Mac.

Everyone has access to almost everything. People had accidentally deleted things in production.

Advice to Management

Drop your egos, and rethink your engineering practices and values.
