Pros

lots more opportunity to own parts of the prod dev cycle -- was previously at a FAANG company, got relegated there to a tiny part of the cycle that I didn't even fully understand the purpose of? At Hivemapper I'm in weekly meetings with the CTO, meeting with GIS analysts, etc. CTO is also a big pro for me. He knows what he's doing, and has an active hand in our work when we need it. Cool benefits package too. Crypto and stock options = double hand in potential upside? If any engineer is looking for their unicorn startup, here it is.

Cons

recruiting process used to take longer, I hear it's now been shortened to 1.5 weeks or so.

Pros

Cool mission, cool product with potential

Cons

Poor management, lack of direction, day to day direction changes with no follow through. Not able to clearly communicate expectations pretty much ever.
