Pros
  • Great work-life balance.
  • Kind people.
Cons
  • No clue how to operate as a large company.
  • No product vision.
  • Engineering is rehashing things over and over.
  • Still debating whether to have CI/CD.
  • Tons of custom frameworks/tools, especially in the devX/infra space, that are inferior to third-party tools.
  • Poor eng culture; very bottoms-up, so information is never consistent.
