Pros

- One of the only true mobile-first companies in the greater Boston area. --- Makes for a great opportunity to work as a mobile engineer where mobile isn't just an afterthought, but a primary part of the business. Contributions have high impact and visibility. Having worked in this space for a minute or two, I've never felt more valued as a mobile engineer. - Work life balance is great. I know everyone claims that but as a employee with a family, I'm never concerned about missing pick-ups, working from home with no issues if a kid ends up sick, etc. - Competitive TC in a rapidly growing business - Great culture. My peers are great and your encouraged at from the top to blow off steam. - Solid time to come on board if you want to leave your mark. The company is transitioning from a smaller startup company to a larger business , so if you are looking to have impact on the business...whether its tech stacks, setting standards and practices, influencing communication methods between product and software, etc., there's opportunity for all of it.

Cons

- Everyone is expected to perform and grow within their stack and teams. This means keeping a finger on the pulse of your domain and striving to make the best product you can, and helping enable your fellow engineers. Unfortunately, this means there isn't much room to coast. Being able to self-regulate is important. - Pretty typical growing pains

Pros

The CEO appears to have a clear and compelling long term vision. The product has strong brand loyalty and a passionate user base.

Cons

Internal politics and misaligned priorities can slow progress and decision making. Some decisions do not appear to be grounded purely in what is best for the user or product. Development cycles can feel long, sometimes taking 2 to 3 years for meaningful product evolution. Several larger departments appear to lack a well balanced mix of experienced, merit driven, and deeply knowledgeable contributors, which can lead to disconnects between teams and ultimately show up in the product. Egos and internal agendas at times overshadow collaboration and product focused thinking.
