Pros

The opportunity to work on complex, high-scale technical challenges alongside a talented engineering team is the biggest draw here. There is a lot of autonomy in how we solve technical problems. Recently, there has also been a positive shift in strategy to focus on specific core areas rather than trying to build and support everything at once.

Cons

Historically the drive to expand the product into multiple different areas has stretched teams very thin. This frequently led to shifting priorities and often compromised the time needed to build truly high-quality, polished solutions. As mentioned in the pros, the strategy here has changed recently and is working well so far. Work-life balance is not the best, the environment can quickly lead to burnout, and achieving a healthy balance relies on the individual consciously setting personal boundaries, rather than being organically supported by the company culture.

Pros

- always something different happening that you can get involved with to learn new skills and expand in to new areas - very approachable and knowledgable team - strong ownership culture, so you get to be heavily involved in product decisions and can carry things from zero to one - great benefits (e.g. very supportive of parental leave)

Cons

Being a startup the potential upside is huge but needs hard work to pull off. So that can involve long hours and require a high level of dedication.

Pros

Great environment for experienced engineers. Very fast paced startup. Engineers here have great opportunities for taking on product ownership and work on a wide variety of things. Coworkers are really talented, humble and nice engineers.

Cons

Nothing really, sometimes a little bit chaotic but nothing out of the ordinary.
