Pros

Hypergrowth company with deeply rooted startup culture. Things are rolling fast. Both builders and hackers are valued here. Innovations and experimentations are greatly encouraged. Mistakes and failures are embraced as long as you learn from it. The leadership is strong. There are many interesting challenging technical problems to solve. How many companies out there are tackling all these areas including real time infrastructure, logistics, big data, machine learning geomatic engineering, mobile development?

Cons

Hours are long, but thankfully they make it fun.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
