Pros

Scrappy professionals who move mountains when we put our minds to it. I can't understate how amazing it is to work with competent people and a leadership team that has a clear strategy that seems like it actually makes sense. The people are enthusiastic about doing great work together and I love that environment. I also love the recent gifts we've been receiving. It was nice getting champagne delivered to my apartment to celebrate hitting a milestone.

Cons

My last manager was stretched very thin. Some of the eng managers have had 15 reports but we've hired more managers recently who hopefully will help with this

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.
