Pros

You can work from home, the compensation and benefits are nice, and the people are (mostly) nice.

Cons

Unless you are one of the few people who has worked for MapLarge for 3+ years, you have no hope of lasting. There is a revolving door of people, most of whom are very talented, who the CTO quickly dismisses for not "integrating" well enough, despite the fact his expectations are as foggy as a San Francisco morning and as unexpectedly evolving as rapidly the influenza virus. Additionally, instead of spending fifteen minutes or so on the typical "standup" meeting, MapLarge has two such meetings that routinely last an hour long. The team is constantly in a hurry to get everything done, and this contributes to it.

Pros

Great work life balance and really interesting work. Smart and helpful coworkers.

Cons

Not a ton of direction/vision from leadership. They throw a bunch of cool ideas at you but not necessarily with business relevance or long term vision in mind.

Pros

- 100% Remote. - Extremely interesting and challenging problems to solve in the geospatial analytics space. - Get to rub shoulders with super smart and professional coworkers. - Excellent hardware and dev tools provided by the company.

Cons

Occasional tug-of-war between fast pace of growth and adherence to project management best practices, but this struggle is acknowledged and thankfully, management is committed to continual efforts to improve our processes as we grow.
