Pros

- Company that is on the way to become very successful - Pretty good benefits for a virgin company - Really great employees to work alongside

Cons

- Serious management issues with those who have been given positions despite not being qualified - The HR department has historically and notoriously done a terrible job to advocate on employee's behalf - Working with vendors (outsourced labor) within sales has created a lot of extra work for employees in order to maximize profit for the company - Despite having a startup vibe, there's a lot of red tape that's comes along trying to get promoted (i.e. hard work doesn't necessarily pay off or get recognized) - In the past, there have been issues with giving out a commensurate amount of stocks despite being early on in the company's life

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
