Pros

Interesting technology domain part of culture is to be open to making non-trivial changes to the product(s), when makes sense of course, i.e. not conservative engineering environment. Smart engineers, helping each other.

Cons

This is very engineering focused company, with very good engineers. Make sure externally hired managers do not degrade the culture and qualities outlined in Pros. Internal infrastructure could be more efficient.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
