Vantaggi
+ There is an awesome community feel, with a lot of opportunity for learning and trying out new ideas.
+ The perks are great, especially considering the low cost of living in St. Louis. Discretionary spending account and computer budgets are generous, with full tier fully paid coverage for yourself, and even help with dependents.
+ Ample opportunities for software engineering development, business/user facing exposure, mentorship, leadership, and real world tech experience at a lean startup.
Svantaggi
- You'll have a lot of opportunities, and this means you need to be up to the challenge of small group and independent hard work. This can take time to develop organically, and you'll need to work out personal/team issues quickly without a large management support network to lean on.
- The drive from St. Louis is a bit far, but at least it's reverse commuting so no mindless traffic.
