Pros

Well executed remote first policy and, for those up to the challenge, the combination of there being tons to learn and very technically adept coworkers willing to help you get up to speed will make for some some great experiences. Provided hardware is as good as it gets and cutting edge tooling.

Cons

Within my team processes were constantly changing or at times completely absent. Relationships with higher ups can go from explicitly satisfied to irreconcilably dissatisfied seemingly overnight. Not much more to say that hasn't already been said around leadership, most of which I emphatically agree with. It's worth adding that leaderships communications to employees around the state/direction of the company are intentionally vague, and dangerously close to outright dishonest. For example, the CEO's company update in April (https://www.solo.io/blog/solo-io-update-2023/) followed by several rounds of layoffs starting not even two months later. I highly caution anyone considering investing their time and efforts here that they may not be as requited as the company heads would like you to believe.

Pros

Many people are great to work with

Cons

Immature leadership. Sales VP is running the company for some reason? Speed is valued above all else. Attempts to create efficiency or to implement processes are met with disdain. They want to move so fast that they end up slowing everything down by being unprepared and with only vague ideas of how things will actually be accomplished.
