Pros

I have been here for around 2 months now. So far, I like it. Everyone I have met or talked to is friendly, helpful, and smart.

I am getting to learn some new technologies and tools. So far, I have learned one thing: since I have to build everything from scratch, this helps me in understanding the basic fundamentals of the technology and frameworks, which were abstracted at the previous company where I worked.

I also have a good work-life balance, and so do the people around me.

Cons

The only con that I have seen so far is that since this is a startup, they don’t have all the tools and processes that big organizations have. But that’s not a big deal. I get to bring some ideas from my past experiences to form these processes, and the team is open and welcoming about them too.

Advice to Management

None so far. I like the open and honest culture that I have seen.
