Business outlook

Pros

People are nice, some of the work is interesting, paid family leave is fantastic. Providing open source tools for community use would be nice if we still had a community who used them

Cons

All major decisions must be personally approved by the CEO, and he has terrible opinions. Everything is always the #1 priority, leading the company to become jack of all trades and master of none.

Fast-paced, mission-driven, and genuinely impactful -- a scrappy team that ships

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The mission is real, and the work actually maps to it -- you can feel the urgency and purpose behind what the company is building. High learning curve in a good way: you’re constantly exposed to new domains (hardware + software + real-world deployments), which keeps things interesting regardless of team or department.

Cons

It’s a fast-moving environment, so priorities can shift as the company learns. The pace is intense at times, and you have to be comfortable with ambiguity and imperfect information.
