Pros

Talented, diverse, friendly coworkers: some of the smartest engineers I've been around, from all over the world and every walk of life, and no egos.

Great tech: we are disrupting the physical security space by bringing modern tech to an old (and huge) industry.

Great management team: All co-founders are technical, very transparent and accessible, very disciplined and fact-based in how they make decisions and execute.

Very solid business model: People need to secure their assets and people, and that will never change. This is a business Warren Buffet would have no problem investing in because it's as easy to understand as Coca-Cola.

Cons

Typical hypergrowth pains (some processes not fully baked yet).

Examples would be: the performance review cycle could be more structured, and some things could be better documented.

Advice to Management

We should tell our story to the world more clearly and more often.
