Pros

It can be a cool product to work in for IoT passionate developers

Cons

Inexperienced executive team comprised of people with zero working knowledge in the subject matter and departments they lead. This isn’t new in startup world. But while some start up execs manage to rise above ego driven decisions and listen to the experts they hire, this team does not. This creates a super toxic, political environment where success depends on your ability to win their favor instead of doing a good job and building the business. Day to day, this translates to systemic and dirty office politics amongst mid level management as people work mostly to show each other up to win favors. This type of competition feels very much encouraged by the executives in return. If you ever, no matter how delicately, contradict an idea the CEO has, you’re done forever. This was easily the most toxic environment I’ve ever worked in.
