Pros

- Competitive pay, PTO, work-life balance. - Positive culture. - Decent opportunity/freedom. - Lots of different tech to cut-teeth on (also a con). - Haven't ran into any jerks so far. - Company has good intermediate level customer-support that works closely with customers and protects engineers from too much noise.

Cons

- Some of the worst code I've ever seen. (This is not my first rodeo). - Lack of investment in stability. They call "Opts" team "SRE". - ADHD of software ecosystems (use a motley of supporting products with poor integration, instead of committing to a few ecosystems with good integrations). - Mixed signals of trying to be frugal versus spending money.
