Pros

Pre-IPO.

Competitive environment. If you enjoy working on new stuff or see your ideas come to life, this company is for you.

Brainstorming and open discussions are the norm.

Growth is guaranteed if you perform. Unless you are an a–hole to people or a true slacker, you are well taken care of.

Fun social life. We have food, drinks, and social groups for softball, soccer, sailing, jam sessions, bar meetings, beer and wine tasting, etc. Really cool people.

Cons
  • Depending on which team you are on, you might end up working on weekends here and there or at midnights.
  • If you are on a Visa, ask first what to expect, due to the lawyers not really being good at following up.
Advice to Management

Enhance balancing of engineering resources across teams, and let us vote for other beer options. We need more variety!
