Pros

Scale is a very fast growing company. As a result, you get to work on very interesting, high impact problems that would be above your paygrade somewhere else. The result is that you do work quite hard, but you also learn a lot in the process and meet some very accomplished people.

Cons

If you are looking for an easy, 40h per week job, Scale is not the place. I would recommend that you go to a large tech company instead.

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.
