Pros
- good salary and benefits - very smart engineers and hard workers - some good managers and executives - some genuinely great people
Cons
At the time I was at the company, these were the cons: - frequent layoffs and turnover - many bad engineering executives and managers. Some seemed to just sit in meetings all day and do nothing to justify their salaries. Many had no healthcare experience and lacked domain knowledge, in addition to ideas or vision. If you are an executive in engineering in a startup company you need to be able to wear different hats and think of things from a product perspective. - Lots of engineering talent wasted essentially doing different permutations of the same project over years - not enough projects to work on to make use of engineering talent - managers ignored requests from workers to contribute to other parts of engineering department
