Pros

The people at Flybits are great and it's a very supportive team. Engineers work on collaborative, cross-functional teams with modern tech stacks. Lots of opportunities to learn from smart peers and mentors, and grow your career.

Cons

Sometimes requirements change quickly and it can be hard to adapt as fast as you need to. Their core technology is complex and it requires training and deeper know how of the tech stack.

Pros

Great engineering team with a highly mature technical stack. Staff are dedicated. Technical team is both disciplined and eager to explore new directions. If you are early in your carear, this is a good place to grow your skill sets.

Cons

Executive team does not seem involved nor serious about growing the business strategically. Instead, it appears they focus more on self-promotion and media perception management. To fill the power vacuum, strategic priorities for the company are set by well-meaning and talented middle managers, but they do not have the breadth of experience required to make the executive level business decisions that are demanded of them.
