Pros
Gordian is fast-paced in the sense that the company likes to get stuff done. Usually when one hears this, it can be interpreted as a positive spin on accumulating tech debt or not caring about code quality. That's not the case here - the company likes to build, but likes to build resilient, well-thought-out software and systems that can last. Really, fast-paced means removing the obstacles or hoops that one may have to go through to get stuff done, while making sure that the structure, communication, and process still exists to make sure the stuff that's getting done is right and aligned with the direction of the company.
Engineers at Gordian are patient, smart, and always willing to help. They're pretty independent, focused on reducing dependencies between teams or processes so that software engineers can focus on building.
The core values are Freedom, Impact, and Ownership, and the company stays very true to those values. Freedom means autonomy and ability to work how best works for you; Impact means making sure that what the team and individuals are working on are the most meaningful they can be to the company & product; Ownership means being proactive, seeking out responsibility, and doing what needs to be done to achieve the team's goals.
Cons
The team is distributed - not necessarily a con, but something to point out. This also increases the independence that team members have, which while not being a con needs to be something that prospective employees are comfortable with - you may be working when other team members are not.
