Pros

- Compensation is pretty good - Fully remote - Some really talented people on staff

Cons

-Struggling to sell the product and retain customers - haven't met sales goals in the last several quarters - Conducted multiple rounds of layoffs and morale is down - Inequality in pay/ promotion opportunities/ recognition depending on who the CEO plays favorites with - There is often a lot of misalignment between the CEO and other leaders - Culture lacking in transparency and respect - Many engineers don't believe in the product - Lacking job stability. I'm not sure how much longer Nacelle will be around. There is a low probability of this company/ product surviving

Pros

-Impressive Coworkers (No lack of talent here. Everyone comes with skill and a wealth of experiences. Always find myself learning from others) -Autonomy (there are processes to follow, but you can be creative and bring your own POV on anything from marketing efforts to strategies for sales cycles) -No micromanagement (everyone is treated as equally to get the job done.) -Fun culture (could go overlooked, but it's refreshing to be an team where we work hard, laugh hard, and focus on a winning environment)

Cons

-Hard to call this a con but it could be an adjustment for others. Things are actually fast-paced in terms of change. Products gain new features/use cases quickly. Territories/segments can change quickly. You have to be nimble to embrace the challenge. -Second challenge you may find is constrained resources. We have teams/departments that can help you create collateral on whatever project you have going on, but it's hard to always prioritize your things. Meaning there is a big onus on you to lead on creative processes and building new assets for whatever presentation or report. It's part of the culture to be very self-sufficient.

Pros

The codebase was maintainable and my direct colleagues were approachable.

Cons

- Work expectations extended into every evening and weekend without acknowledgment or flexibility - I received messages from leadership at all hours expecting immediate responses - There was no separation between working and personal time because the culture did not treat that as important - The workload was created by decisions from above without adjusting timelines or staffing to match - I watched talented people leave because the pace and hours were unsustainable
