Business Outlook

Pros

- There is a refreshing lack of ego here. You can actually talk to management and leadership without feeling like there’s a wall between you. - The company actually lives by its values rather than just using them as marketing jargon. - The engineering department prioritizes helping each other over "being right," which makes for a much lower-stress environment.

Cons

- Fast scaling means some workflows and processes are still being ironed out. - Collaboration is high, which sometimes leads to a heavy meeting load.
