Pros

Around 8 people who work there were decent humans

Cons

Absolute favoritism, and if you didn't worship the ground that the 20-something "leadership" walked on, you weren't in the favorites group Extreme bro culture. Heard multiple misogynistic and transphobic comments made, including by a CEO who's claimed to value LGBTQ+ lives Work harder, not smarter. In fact, don't even bring up ideas for working smarter. You get paid to do, not to think.

Pros

- Lot of flexibility as you get a say in how much core platform vs. customer-specific work you want to take up - Exciting growth avenues being pursued by organization in both enterprise and public sectors - Heavy emphasis on internal tooling being built that augments developer experience and pace of client delivery

Cons

- Sometimes, the team moves at a rapid pace at expense of sustainability/maintainability for short-term wins. - Lots of internal tooling being built are prematurely deployed for developers, and a lot of time goes into back-and-forth for gains that will only be visible in a large lookahead.
