Not quite a start up and not quite an enterprise

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Very disciplined engineering team, in control of things like costs and downtime - Customer success is valued highly, and you get to know customers and their problems, resolving them and making them happy

Cons

- Too disciplined sometimes, it can be hard to be reactive to what’s happening and suggest new ideas and ways of working - Other teams seem to be much more chaotic particularly for staffing
