Great Pay, Terrible Management

Pros: They paid me a lot of money.
Cons: My boss didn't have the coding chops of a high school kid. He had us tracking old static build files and asked us to resolve merge conflicts with every pull, as if that wasn't totally insane and akin to moving sand with tweezers. I spent multiple hours on Zoom with my colleagues, walking them through Vue, JavaScript in general, and often just writing their code for them. They presented this work as their own, to much praise from the VPs, while making absolutely no mention of me at all. They'd often ask a question on Slack, then delete the message from the archives to remove evidence that they had needed help.

Pros: The leadership team has proven that they can lead products to be successful in the market (Meraki, Apple, etc.). You'll learn processes and skills that make for a successful company.
People are very smart and offer good ideas and feedback.
Things move fast here, and you're given responsibility right out of the gate. You won't feel like "the new guy" for long!
Cons: The company is having some growing pains around mass communication. I find that I get three different answers to the same question.
Engineering is very revenue-driven. This is not the place to go if you like to implement a concept from ideation to completion and then send to users.
