Pros

Absolutely brilliant people. Everyone is always doing their best to serve clients. The company-supplied lunches is an outstanding perk. Pay is top notch for the city. The creative freedom and autonomy is unprecedented. The maker/owner culture is real here.

Cons

The amount of work in engineering can be overwhelming, and it doesn't feel like there's enough time or planning for the teams to support each other. Stress can easily happen with this job.

Advice to Management

Allow space for engineering to learn how to scale and support each other.

The current model supports cowboys and staying myopically focused on your own team's work.
