Business outlook
Pros
* The engineering culture at AL is empowering: high ownership, lots of autonomy, and low on process and red tape. * Everyone is super smart and cares a lot about what they're building, which makes it an inspiring place to work. * The company is very transparent from the top to the bottom, so everyone is aware of how its doing and feels involved in its success. * Compensation, benefits, equity are excellent. Culture is very supportive and flexible around taking time off.
Cons
Despite having an established product, AL is still very much a startup. Problems are often abstract and there's lot of urgency. The high ownership culture can therefore be exciting, but it can also be stressful, and may not be what everyone is after.
