Pros

- You're surrounded by lots of smart people - Great salary

Cons

- Curiosity and awareness of other projects/teams than your own is seen as a bad thing - Ridiculous expectations of work hours. They think that because they pay highly they own you and you should work constant overtime. They then say that they aren't asking for you to work overtime but complain that you're not completing enough work when you don't. - Constantly firing people without giving them a chance to improve first and with very little to no warning. They don't give you a chance to talk to your colleagues and then lie to them about why you were fired.

Pros

Strong engineering culture and fast growing enviornment

Cons

Some leaders and colleagues come from large multinational corporations with very rigid, process‑heavy ways of working, which can clash with the needs of a fast‑moving company.

Pros

Important mission Get to work with very talented engineers Most people are great to work with

Cons

Way too much emphasis on delivering things quickly rather than correctly There are a few people in positions of power who don't know the meaning of no and assume they're an expert at everything There is an unwritten rule of excessive unpaid overtime to the point of burnout
