Pros

I've written volumes only to delete it all & boil it down to this. If you want detail the other 1 & 2 star reviews cover much or all I would note. - Made some great friends. - Able to take vacation as needed. - There were some good & descent middle managers that made life bearable in the chaos created by upper management. - I now know, in detail, how to destroy an engineering org's morale in just 18 short months.

Cons

- IMHO the culture is fundamentally broken & I don't think anything short of starting over with new leadership from the top down is going to fix it. - If you're an experienced Elixir dev the codebases will likely pain you to look at on the daily. If you aren't, you're almost certain to spend your time learning anti patterns.

Pros

Full of warm and wickedly talented people. Powerful platform and valuable product offering to the market. Employees are empowered to act. Bias toward action drives the incredible pace at which the organization moves. Great opportunities to make an impact.

Cons

Work/life balance needs major improvement. Oversaturated workloads driving many employees (tenured and new alike) to burnout. Lacks the controls and checks needed in order to take on so much, and seek to deliver so quickly. Speed of the organization is great for progress and delivery, but running so fast leads to a lot of "falling down"....Quality must be there for the speed to be as valuable. Customer-obsessed culture lacks strong, strategic management of customers. Everything is an emergency (which means nothing is an emergency). Compensation needs improvement to be more competitive with the market.
