Pros

Remote working and interesting problems to solve in this industry.

Cons

Clueless slapdash technical leadership and vision, you will be working on projects built with complexity from the ground up that become too big to fail. You’ll be working with people that have no idea how to function within a team that shield themselves and their work from any form of discussion or review until it becomes too much of a priority for it not to be released, which contributes to an atmosphere of chaos and confusion. Putting in extra hours over the weekend or working longer hours is encouraged and spun as being healthy by higher ups. Concerns about how things are shaping up are ignored and made into being some kind of 'personal vendetta' as a way to mask issues and keep stakeholders happy and oblivious. Zero transparency, you'll be at the mercy of whether or not management personally like you as reviews and goals are just a box ticking exercise.

This company has so much potential and is a perfect platform for growing ones career. The executive leadership team is a special group of people with incredible experience that you will have first hand exposure to. Not a lot of global companies can say that. Hyper collaborative focus & culture that promotes positivity & creativity. Hanzo’s explosive growth is nothing short of impressive & an abundance of opportunities to help build this company into its next tier of hyper-growth!

Cons

None i can think of! I’m extremely happy here.

Pros

Great people on the team, solid compensation, an opportunity to learn and solve complex problems for enterprise customers. Very flexible organization that allows team members to maintain a true work/life balance...it is not just a slogan, it's real. Have developed a product that is a great fit for the market Hanzo serves and it is being adopted quickly by Enterprise customers.

Cons

Communication across teams is difficult, but this is getting better due to the leadership team sharpening communication across the organization with regular town hall meetings. More resources needed to move quicker--the technical team needs additional impactful team members, which I expect they are working on.
