Pros: New Tech Hard Problems Smart People

Cons: Got to put in the hours.

Pros: - Colleagues who care about the success of the country, company, team, etc. - Cutting-edge technology development - Sunny Southern California - Great mentorship and growth opportunities

Cons: - Some of the same Silicon Valley elitism. - High demand for products/development can lead to high demands on your time. Work-life balance isn't for everyone.

Pros: - Large amount of ownership. - Fast-paced. - Lots of smart people from a good mix of backgrounds. - Compensation is competitive. - My opinion is always valued. - An insane amount of freedom in equipment usage (any operating system, IT is there to help you succeed while keeping you secure). - Incredibly little red tape. - Focused on an in-office environment and the benefits that come from synchronously working closely with others. - The food is really good!! - Small enough that you can make a significant impact as a single person still. - People actually take vacation.

Cons: - Long workdays at times (but it’s often up to you to decide to work late). - No hand-holding; figure it out, or you aren’t going to make it far here. - If you’re looking for a super remote-friendly ecosystem, this is not the ideal company. - Infrastructure for software is lacking, which can cause frustrations at times, especially if you’re used to larger companies with mature ecosystems. - Since lots of people are engrossed in their work, lunch banter doesn’t happen as often, and many take short lunches.
