Pros

- Opportunity to learn about an industry that supports our countries economy - Opportunity to grow into roles you would never be considered for at other companies - Unlimited Time off (could be a bad thing - people tend to not take it because of lack of knowing whats too much to take) - Ability to do whatever you want from a career perspective

Cons

- Overworked - Underpaid - Lack of focus - always spinning up new products with an inability to support the ones we currently have - Pitch concepts of products to potential customers rather then selling products we already have (Sales has nothing to contribute because they don't know what they're selling) - Young and inexperienced "leadership team" and even individual contributors - seen as always being replaceable - Reactive

Pros

Great idea but no focus

Cons

Company will go no where until current leadership steps aside and let’s a real team lead. No focus, shiny object syndrome.

Pros

Engineers are generally skilled (high number of outsourced engineers). Customer relations are excellent at what they do and carry a lot of water for the terrible decisions of management. Product has/had talented thinkers who genuinely work to improve their customers' experience. Unlimited vacation (standard at other startups) Work-life balance is decent

Cons

Upper/senior management is woefully incapable of owning decisions, preferring instead to cast blame down the hierarchy. An inordinate amount of time and hours have been wasted chasing a non-paying partner at the expense of addressing serious technical debt and shortcomings in the Fleet product. The products are riddled with issues (data integrity, FMCSA compliance, etc.) and customers have left for more capable ELD providers who are responsive to requests for industry standard features. Product managers have presented roadmaps and research to improve the product, only to be ignored and then blamed for customer attrition when the decisions of upper management go awry. The telematics device is inadequate, and engineers spend countless hours guessing at the workings of a device that is a black box. The amount of tech debt is staggering, scalability issues galore, fragile products, etc. Talent attrition here would make fast food restaurants blush.
