Pros
  • Working with bleeding-edge/new and emerging technologies.
  • Working alongside some of the industry's best talent.
  • Very flexible work-from-home policy.
Cons
  • Very long work hours.
  • Not much process and standards around code development, deployment, project initiation, and execution.
  • No mentoring and support around career growth and development. You're pretty much on your own to map out your career. You end up doing a lot of side projects on your own to get the experience you desire.
  • No continuous education opportunities unless you confront management and explain to them you want training in some new technology other than just learning it on your own.
Advice to Management
