Vantaggi
I've really scratched the itch for greenfield work here. Lots of new features to build. Not nearly as much legacy software to maintain as you find at FAANG. Stack is pretty well modernized. Sprints are focused and fast-paced. Lots of POCs and iterations. Good teammates and autonomous culture. Product is good and has very supportive investors and board. Each and every person in the company has notable and displayed contributions. There's not a pressure to compete with each other, but a solid culture where everyone knows the work they do is required to keep the company going towards a profitable future. Sprint demos and all hands bring everyone together on the same page. Pretty amazing to see every teams' accomplishments so frequently due to the small company size.
Svantaggi
Vision is lost sometimes. Some features are built but never move the needle. Enterprise customer focus can pull attention away from important developments that are needed for startup type companies. Teams are stretched thin due to low revenue and frugal phase of the company. Not hiring for growth at the moment.
