Pros

- It’s rewarding to see our work directly affecting both commercial and government sectors. The reach of our technology is real and immediate. - Despite the pace, there is a strong sense of teamwork. People are willing to jump in and solve problems together. - Because the organization is still maturing, there are opportunities to build systems from the ground up. If you enjoy "interesting" work that involves creating a solid foundation rather than just maintaining one, this is the place to be.

Cons

- We are still a relatively immature organization in terms of processes. We are very much "getting our feet under us," which can lead to some internal questioning. - Decisions are made very quickly. While agility is a strength, there are times when we move a little too fast, potentially overlooking long-term scalability for short-term wins.

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.
