Pros
  • Interesting work (team-dependent, but many teams working in many fields)
  • Company values feel genuine; upper management seems invested in the work, not just payouts.
  • Very smart colleagues, a great place to learn.
Cons
  • Sub-par pay and benefits for a tech company.
  • Strong correlation between effort/output and performance rating, but minimal impact on compensation.
  • Teams are small, and each generally covers a very wide field. Expect the majority of your work to be done alone (this can be a blessing and a curse).
Advice to Management

Invest more in your current employees rather than just hiring more engineers. It gets discouraging to see "excellent" YoY growth followed by tepid raises or bonuses.
