Pros

Customer focused Great product innovations Time to value always getting shorter Leaders communicate visions that are then executed

Cons

Very fast paced product innovation creates need for customer facing teams to keep on top of all new features - more than can be addressed in the recurring technical summits.

Pros

* Interesting problems in distributed systems, cloud deployments at scale, data processing, data visualizations, performance tuning and of course database systems. * Peers are industry leaders in their technical areas. * Rocket ship, hyper growth phase. * Building what will become the most prevalent Data Platform

Cons

* Rocket ship, hyper growth phase. * Leadership favors top down processes * First job for most of the early eng, being balanced out by strong hiring in 2020/2021, but there's a tendency towards cargo culting.
