Pros

BitSight created a market for security ratings from nothing and rapidly emerged as the market leader. It is a fundamentally new and different product and tons of hard problems to solve. The business is growing exponentially, which means there is a ton of opportunity for leadership and career growth. The engineering team is a diverse group of smart people and there is tons to learn from each other.

Cons

Its a startup, so they will give you as much responsibility as you can handle, which will push you to edge of your comfort zone. The business is rapidly expanding, which brings plenty of pressure to succeed.

Pros

- Lots of opportunities for cross-functional work/working with senior-level SMEs - EOY Bonus (usually) - Great benefits (Flexible PTO policy/stipends)

Cons

- Exec suite does not care about you! - Pay is not competitive; was paid significantly less relative to market for experience (didn't realize this until too late, mgmt wouldn't adjust salary either) - No cost-of-living raises over the 2 years I worked there (No raise at all, ever, actually! And no support to be promoted from within) - Layoffs occur twice a year, and everyone is replaceable
