Pros

The company is really ambitious and is looking to do really exciting work. The pacing of the company is really fast

  • but they are humane at managing workloads. I have a family and they are very supportive of keeping hours manageable. They also are very supportive when unexpected things happen and really invest in their employees as humans. The team I am on doesn't require people to do weekends or nights
  • but some people are really motivated and have the flexibility to do that on occasion. It is choose your own adventure with what you want to be responsible for. Everything needs support so you can always take on more responsibility. The company is really focused on doing the right thing morally in how it operates.
Cons

Company is understaffed for the ambitious deadlines. Easy to burn out if you don't pace your self. Definitely not a slow and easy pace of bigger companies like google. This is a startup and survival of the company depends on projects being successful.
