Pros
  • Ilan, our CTO is great at what he does. Working under him has been a really good learning experience for me.
  • Interesting technical problems to solve, especially if you’re into travel
  • The product is light years ahead of the competition, its great working at a company that’s growing so quickly.
Cons
  • As we grow rapidly, there are already people in the org that are happy to come to work and collect their paycheck, letting others pick up their slack.
  • Engineering is mostly led by the product team, with completely unrealistic deadlines. Common excuse is that "we’re a startup", even though we are not anymore.
  • We used to move a lot quicker when most of our engineering team was in one office. The time difference with other offices slows us down sometimes.
  • As a few others mentioned, leadership is a bit inexperienced which is starting to show now that we are a midsized company. We’re looking for a VP of Eng which should hopefully help here
