Pros

I was on a product team with brilliant and thoughtful peers and a manager that really cared. I would 100% work with any of them again. It was an amazing culture.

Cons

Although my product manager did his best to keep me, the company overall made almost no retention efforts in the 2 months I was job hunting. When all-hands meeting are flooded with acquisition details and high-fives for sales numbers, I should not have been able to double my pay out in the marketplace.

Pros

The team culture was incredible. Managers were very open and encouraging to explore new technologies and development processes. It was a very collaborative culture where engineers would often collaborate on solutions to complex problems which was especially nice given the displacement between all of the remote members of the team.

Cons

Outside of the team level, organization prioritization struggled. One day the stated priority might be one thing then the following day it would suddenly change. I would describe it as 'chasing a shiny object' instead of a thought out vision for what the project should be when it's complete.
