Pros

Lots of projects to work on; fast paced, supportive team. A good place to improve one's skills. Little overtime required. Reasonable amount of meetings. Positive office culture.

Cons

Arbitrary deadlines set by PMs and managers and unnecessary stress to meet them. Gamified metrics leads to this. Little time spent reducing tech debt and messy code. Lots of unfinished projects being launched. Recent layoffs and unprofitability make the company seem less trustworthy

Great company full of very talented and driven people. Awesome mission and leadership.

Startup culture, so hours can vary (not your typical 9-5), should be passionate about the company.
