Pros

Having worked at Foghorn gives me the opportunity to expose its ugliness, so that people can avoid it like a plague that it is.

Cons

There is absolutely no hope for this company. A certain executive abandons what his position requires of him and wastes his time bickering with and hassling engineers over what they don't do right according to his narrow-minded "visions", and nothing strategic comes out of him. In addition, he implements the Indian caste system to its full capacity: you either gain his favoritism and be a Brahmin, or become reduced to a Dalit. The certain executive does not have much of a brain of his own, and whatever a Brahmin says he takes. His favorite Brahmins running the show are college kids who are still wet behind the ears, and their education has trained them better in politics than in technical skills. The entire engineering team is completely immersed in incessant blaming games.

Pros

The engineering talent here is the best I've ever seen, and the technology itself is by far the leader in a hot, hot space. The executive team is very strong and has actually driven engagement with all the large commercial players. The culture is very friendly, and the engineers collaborate well. Right now, there's a pretty clear sense that the company is well-positioned for hockey stick-type growth in the next year and is on track for a very positive exit.

Cons

Frankly, the company is probably understaffed given the engineering time frames and customer demand. They are going to have to ramp up hiring quickly to make sure they take advantage of the market.
