Pros

It's rare to find a founding team and senior leadership that set a resonating vision for the company, motivating everyone to overcome technical challenges and build a better world with privacy-friendly technology. I joined Butlr as an early member, a time when many decisions were made by the founders. The product evolved quickly, and tough choices were made, which newer members might not understand, but it was necessary at the time. As the company grew, responsibilities were delegated to experienced team leaders who joined later. I appreciate that our CEO trusts these leaders and grants them autonomy to manage their areas, realizing it's not scalable for him to oversee day-to-day operations. I also like that Butlr's primary focus is on improving and delivering the best product to the market, rather than spending heavily on promotions and marketing.

Cons

Fast-paced and need to balance new product features and existing infrastructure improvements. Sometimes moving fast breaks things and requires the team to be innovative and hardworking.

Pros

The people working at Butlr are absolutely kickass. While we're still a relatively small team, they're relevantly experienced, and there's more holes being filled in with every new hire. Expect great things from your future coworkers.

Cons

The CEO is not very technically-inclined, at least with relation to the day-to-day hardware operations, but engineering leadership is solid. We're also still paying down years-old technical debt from an inexperienced starting team.
