Pros

I thoroughly enjoy working at Nimble. The work is satisfying, and the people are top notch. Everyone is excellent at what they do, and are working very hard day in and day out. The small size of the organization really enables rapid development and deployment of ideas. Compared to the larger organizations I've worked at in the past this is immensely freeing. There is plenty of room to work hard and get the support you need to out pace a peer at a larger organization. Nimbles. vision is very noble, well timed, and we have a strong chance of succeeding. It's exciting to be here, and a lot of fun!

Cons

It can be hard for younger engineers at startups likes this to have relationship with mentors who can help train/teach them which can limit skill growth. I personally try to combat this by taking extra time with any younger person to share my wealth of knowledge.

Pros

You'll get a lot of ownership of a piece of their product right away and be expected to drive the development on your own. Lots of opportunities to go watch robots execute the software you've written which I found super exciting. Nimble definitely embraces the "move fast and break things" mantra in the best way Also the office is in SoMa in San Francisco and is easy to commute to from most of SF by bike/bus/car which allows you to live in some beautiful neighborhoods

Cons

Lots of folks work well over 40 hours a week (also kind of a pro; your coworkers will push you to be better and believe in the company's vision). Although honestly most people generally drew the line in the 50-60 hours a week range which still allows you to have a life outside of work. Things can feel disorganized at times with priorities shifting radically week to week. Again, I think this is quite common with tech startups
