Pros

- Leadership puts a lot of effort into creating a company culture that's inclusive and not like 99.9% of other tech startups - Thoughtful process in choosing projects to work on and is not solemnly focused on the bottom line/profit - Lots of opportunities for company morale boosts and bonding - TWO corgis! Overall, MistyWest is unlike any other place I've ever worked and has gone above and beyond in helping me forget the poor management and toxic work cultures I've experienced at previous employers.

Cons

- Because of the 'flat' structure of the company, it can be difficult to identify whose responsibility is what at times - The company is still quite lean and green, so employees may need to wear a couple hats (and this may lead to the above issue again) - As it's an engineering firm, a lot of the focus for business/team development or identifying needs is engineering based, yet there are several employees who are not engineers and have different needs/goals within the company and may not identify with company goals

Thanks for the considerate feedback and review Westie! We're working on improving our governance processes so everyone is crystal clear on accountabilities at all times. We encourage our team to raise tensions and work to navigate them together. - Rebecca

Pros

Wonderful, fun, hardworking, smart, competent and honest people as coworkers.

Cons

Challenging macro economic environment. Lots of change, and it's hard to keep up sometimes. AI is changing things too.
