Pros

Teams are small and extremely collaborative. Opportunity to work on challenging technical problems. Good work-life balance.

Cons

No work from home policy.

Becoming increasingly process-intensive over the past few years.

Conflicting demands on getting new, flashy features out the door versus updating legacy features that are in serious need of refactoring/redesign. The latter usually ends up being sacrificed for the former.

Lower salaries compared to similar tech companies.

Advice to Management

Be careful with too much process; it often impedes people from getting real work done.

Provide more transparency on how decisions on feature prioritization and strategic direction are made.
