Pros
Engineering was a cohesive team that encouraged growth and celebrated each other's victories. My managers and co-workers gave support and time to share knowledge. There was the utmost professional respect regardless of your experience or background knowledge.
Cons
In the end, the company missed a round of funding and ceased operations on short notice. We were allowed to ask about funding in the preceding months. In retrospect, we were perhaps spared the finer, grittier details. For all the good in the management team, this lack of transparency did harm.
