Pros: Extremely smart, helpful, proactive, and dedicated group of people solving challenging problems in the IoT industry.
Startup culture: you can take on as many responsibilities as you want and work on projects that have high-value impact.
There is no set path for choosing a direction for your career. As long as you are interested and do your job well, folks are really great about helping you find your next move.
Great colleagues, many of whom have become my close friends.
Cons: - Work can be very demanding at times.
- We are constantly balancing ourselves with "getting things done" and "doing things the right way".
