Pros

Great work life balance. Passionate and capable team. Growing, but still lots of opportunities to make an impact and solve problems creatively.

Cons

Limited individual ownership over many engineering decisions. I'm sure there's lots of variation per team, but many technical decisions become a committee decision, without a clear owner, slowing things down.

Advice to Management

Align more on a product vision internally, and make intentional compromises to back the vision and schedule. Set up clearer ownership on product vision and decisions, and commit to those calls so the team can align.
