Pros

- The most impressive cohort of talent I have ever worked with - An engineering consultancy that owns client problems from formulation to solution implementation. - We solve the problems others cannot. - Competing at the bleeding edge of technology. - First Mode values create a wonderful and respectful work environment. - Teams aggressively attack problems - Incredible pace of onboarding - Occupy the rarefied position of being able to actively choose the work we pursue on engineering and environmental merit.

Cons

- It's a new company that is growing quickly, it is hard to minimise the vacuum associated with this growth.
