Pros

Interesting domain leads to an interesting daily life, solving some fun but hard problems.

Super nice people all around, and they are super smart too.

Well-established team structure ensures people work in small teams while still being coordinated across the company.

Lots of fun, optional social events, and interesting discussions/talks.

And did I mention catered lunch and dinner every day?

Cons

Not enough people. There is a lot to do, and not enough people to do it. So some people are spread thin.

Lots of new initiatives, so efforts can feel a bit diluted.

Given the domain we work in, things change fast, and sometimes it feels like things are moving too fast. It can get hard to focus.

Advice to Management

It feels like we are trying a lot of different things, but we do not have the manpower to wholeheartedly pursue any of it.

Maybe focus on some things and execute really well on them.
