Pros

A very worthwhile, interesting and challenging problems. Talented and diverse team.

Cons

A global company so timezones are a challenge for collaboration. A startup, so salary not competitive but there is a big potential upside in the long run.

Pros

Coworkers in the Eng dept are the sharpest people in the company by a mile, the foot soldiers carrying us forward

Cons

- Aquabyte were category leaders several years ago, today they are dead last. Missing out on enterprise deals and the inability to set the market ablaze to own market share. Inability of the CEO to make any type of decision besides make up work of a 1000+ scenarios of what ifs - Harassment common in the work place. At least 6 people left due to a higher up harassing multiple people through comments on physical features, abusive language, and lying on performance reports to show specific people are the problem. Yes, he even harassed multiple people not on his team - No more VC funding bound as the tap has dried up - Rounds of layoffs again - Raises were given to people making the least at the company, with a standard 2% raise. No increase of equity for any of the boots on the ground, doesn't matter since they are on their way out. They will low ball you with an offer - Complete disconnect on vision of the company and unity of teams from the US vs Norway office being a constant theme - I think every person has a title of a manager at the company yet 90% of these titles do not manage anyone
