Pros
  • Incredibly thoughtful leaders, talented business and product folks, and great engineering team.
  • A lot of opportunity to own projects and work on growing them.
  • A lot of opportunity to put on different hats. Some engineers will make key product decisions that can make or break opportunities.
  • Domain modeling is highly valued -- leading to a codebase that is pretty sensible to work with. Tech debt is well managed.
Cons
  • No real levels system to "track your growth". You own your own growth, which can be as stagnant or as great as you want.

  • Not a typical 9 - 5. While folks actively try to cover each other, the reality of startup life is that market conditions or customers can force your hand into a week or two of bad work-life balance.

Advice to Management

Keep caring for everyone, and especially take care of yourselves. It makes a huge difference.
