Pros

- Interesting business domain - Smart and hardworking people - Revenue is growing

Cons

- Engineering and product direction is increasingly detached from the business direction. Our company will only survive if it becomes more efficient than its competitors, yet most of our software teams are not focused on helping make our ops teams more efficient. - The most talented, tenured, and senior people in the software org are leaving the fastest - Hard to get support from middle management when you need something - Internal communication and alignment is getting worse, leading to even more politics

Pros

Lots of really smart and nice people at the company. The culture has improved a lot recently. There's a good amount of room to develop and jump on things that you might not be exposed to in other companies.

Cons

The company moves a little too fast at times and maybe overlooks things that are working well and don't necessarily need to be changed for "efficiency" at the risk of doing things incorrectly. It can be hard to move up in some departments. work/life balance varies a lot by team.
