Get on the ride
- Fast-paced environment
- Lots of smart people
- Minimum processes (great for an engineer, may not be great for ops)
- Market pay (It would seem above market until you look at the details, at which point you realize it's at market, i.e., Google, Facebook, etc.)
- Poor planning.
- Paying for health, vision, and dental out of pocket if you want coverage for family.
- Put your head down and do the job. Don't question.
- Full-time employees are basically long-term contractors.
- No career growth (of course, there are always a handful of exceptions).
It's a really different culture that is almost close to being great but not there. Need to recognize that real people work at the company.
