Pros

The team enjoys a harmonious atmosphere, where people work well together and often connect on holidays, major events, and some Friday nights. There's a strong sense of collaboration within the group.

Cons

Funding is unstable, as is common with many startups, meaning layoffs can happen suddenly regardless of an employee's value. There is unfair treatment, with some engineers being underutilized yet still paid. When downsizing, the company often targets high-salaried engineers, even if they are the most talented and productive. They prioritize the company’s stability over fostering innovation and challenging work.
