Pros

Definitely the best company I've worked for. I came to Obsidian because of my familiarity with their open source projects and to hone my haskell + nix skills. It's a super fast paced company and everyone there was someone to learn from however they were understanding of my speed and I had direct mentorship from all of the top engineers and two founders. Literally changed the trajectory of my career.

Cons

I was terminated without warning. I will admit I was definitely at fault but it felt like something very fixable and a factor of me being a noob.

Pros

All the benefits of being a private contractor while being under the protection of an organized LLC. The clients' needs varied, and it was common to be jump between clients as staffing needs required. This meant you always got to work on something new. Never feel stagnant.

Cons

The Pro can be a Con for some people that want more stability and direction in their tasking. If you aren't good at context switching it may be challenging there.

Pros

World-class team means you're constantly learning from others. Team is friendly and friendships are strong. If you like working on many kinds of things, you will enjoy Obsidian Systems. There are many projects to work on and you get a taste of different technologies. But always with an agreement that FP is a "good idea."

Cons

The diversity of projects keeps things interesting but can also be tiresome. You don't often feel "at home" in a project because it's you may only stay on it for a few months. Teams change often and without a lot of notice.
