Pros

You will learn a lot and it is great way to gain a lot of experience

Cons

Work load is unmanageable, from day 2 you will be assigned projects with no training and expected to deliver right away. Everyone is extremely stressed out and you will have non stop back to back meetings starting in week 1. Be expected to work +10 hours days and feel lucky if you have a moment to relax on your lunch break.

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
