Vantaggi
Global-scale ambitions. The personnel (seasoned and fresh out of school), the ideas, the tech, and the will to achieve. Progress in one year: we actually did what we said we were going to. Growth of the team and capabilities to advance our goals. Everyone "throws in" to get to the next level, whether they thought they were "good at that" (whatever there was to be done) already or no. Great team spirit and good humor. Working in person, w/ masks and the needful steps, because we are physically building the new robotic reality. There is no substitute for doing the truly new. Each office has the critical mass to have its own local culture within the whole. And it's evolving.
Svantaggi
Standard early-stage startup risks and challenges. Be ready to check your doubts at the door and become an active part of the communal hallucination to realize what was previously only in science fiction, if you can handle that. Yes, constant problem solving occurs "hard," as learning and operating outside of your comfort zone is necessary to make these flaky components and recalcitrant software "dance," or someone else would already have shown >you< how it's done.
