Pros

* Everyone here works hard, and you see it based on their actions and results. That includes executive leadership, business team, and engineering. This is very motivating to see. * Amazing work culture and ethics. * Company mission in protecting lives through technology and AI is inspiring. * Young startup company, but very organized and follows best practices. We have organized processes such as Sprints, CI/CD, code review process, etc. * Get to work with some really cool and state of the art technology. You are free to be innovative and creative. * Very friendly environment. Work with a bunch of smart people with no egos. People are also accountable for their actions and everyone always helps each other. * Company paid lunches.

Cons

* Commuting to Downtown San Diego, depending on where you live * Company is growing, which means office space is getting limited. * As is true for any startup, work hours can be long. Want to emphasize though that this isn't a requirement. I've observed that people work long and hard here because "they want to", not because "they have to". You are not forced to work long hours. People are still able to enjoy their lives and hobbies. * Not your typical engineering company where most engineers come in at 10am. Most, if not everyone, are already in the office by 8am.

Pros

Great people, interesting problems to work on, and I am happy to be a part of what they are building. This is by far the best job I have ever had.

Cons

There are going to be problems in a rapidly growing start up (the company has doubled in size since I started), but every time something has come up it has been dealt with quickly and fairly.
