Pros

- Company is just over the cusp of moving from being a small company to a large one. Lots of the tools and process is rip for growing to the next generation. - Positive feedback loop of the products making customers better at delivery, and thus having new challenges to face, for which we can develop new products. - Culture encourages work life balance. 70 hour weeks are not expected or encouraged. - Hybrid 3 day/week in office is ideal for me. - competitive salary & benefits - High level decisions seem to be made thoughtfully. - Global teams helps prevent group-think.

Cons

- Eng teams tend to design 1-2 quarters out, for well known paths only, instead of gathering broad requirements to design for 1-2 years out, while implementing incrementally. - 4 years of rapid growth has left much technical debt. But this is also an opportunity for great projects. - Global teams means you spend a lot of time in VC. - Hints of NIH syndrome (but not nearly as much as previous employer)
