Meaningful Mission. Great Culture

Pros

Biggest Pro: It's mission -- Protect life. Work for a technology company that truly makes a difference in communities. I've worked for one of the Top 5 technology companies, one that is known for its culture of innovation. Because of it's size, focus on serving law enforcement and its internal culture, I can say without a doubt that this was the best job switch I ever made.

Cons

Keeping pace with its innovations, a sign of a great technology company.

Respect maker time

Pros

Mission driven. Every day work your doing is making an impact. The company's values are more than just words on the wall. Aim Far, Own It, Win Right, Be Obsessed, Join Forces and Expect Candor. These are woven into the company's DNA and have seen them in action drive positive results. The company is not afraid to fail but has high standards and is execution focus. The idea of respecting maker time is something that I feel more than other places I've worked. Sure there are meetings etc... but people make an effort to respect the "doers" time which is extremely refreshing. It's a big faux pas to interrupt someone wearing their headphones. I bring this up as it may seem like a little thing but that cultural focus on respecting maker time allows the doers to actually produce. For those that write code and other ICs this is incredibly refreshing.

Cons

Growing Pains are mostly in the category of rapidly scaling company. No work place is going to be perfect. Some tension amongst teams not co-located.

Pros

Fantastic mission - You can work on anything as a software developer these days, it's great to work on something that makes a difference. Great size - Small enough that there's very little red tape, and individual can have a significant impact. Big enough that the pay and benefits are good, you can take time off without the business shutting down. Great people - Haven't encountered any jerks yet (been here 6 months so far). Co-workers are passionate about the mission. Strong momentum - Sales team is doing a good job of closing deals and the company is investing in new products. Customers seem to really love the products and the brand, which makes it easier to bring additional products to market.

Cons

Growing pains - Company is growing fast! This creates a lot of opportunities for everyone, but it also means systems/tools/etc can lag a bit as we scale up and level up.
