Putting the Cool in Government and Enjoying Doing It!
Pros
-Mature leadership team - bringing great vision and structure to teams on how we get to the next level -Great market - a dream to sell to a market that is under-served, far more responsive and loves our product. It's not quite as scary as what "selling to government" is perceived as.. -Solid platform - nimble and agile enough to make vast improvements to the product in short order. While I'm not a UI/UX person, I appreciate the slickness of the product. -Rewards high-achievers - the 6 month review process is an awesome process. A lot of companies tout this, but very real motivation to over-achieve in the company. -GREAT benefits - paid laundry, 1/2 of gym, food, Lyft for those taking Caltrain, housing stipend for nearby workers, snacks, etc make the hard work even more worthwhile! -Great people to come to work with everyday
Cons
-With all of the pro's, can't overlook it is a startup -There's a ton to do, plenty of problems to solve, content to create, and governments to sell --- but requires being self-sufficient when resources aren't available -Visibility is a double-edged sword - there's no hiding out in a company this size
