Pros

1. great WLB 2. plenty of opportunities to try new techniques 3. colleagues are mostly friendly, skilled and talented

Cons

1. poor higher management, was kind of lost and missed the moment that could make this company even stronger and profitable 2. C-level and BD are absolutely a joke and couldn't even provide clear directions and messages so that engineering departments always poured the water into sand. 3. it was ridiculous that, after losing significant partner such as Gxxgle, promotions for "directors" were still continued. entry-level developers were wondering if KaiOS was going to film a French movie. 4. due to the technical gap across teams from different regions, communications were always inefficient and difficult to get everybody in agreement.

Pros

Chance to help bring millions of people access to the Internet for the first time across the globe. Wide range of technologies with opportunities to learn. Excellent benefits, competitive salary. Great group of talented and easy going, but focused, developers. Multicultural staff. Startup culture with minimal red tape. Most pets welcomed, I bring my dog in once or twice a month. The majority of the staff goes out for lunch together on Fridays. Some of the guys like to play soccer after work.

Cons

Being a start has its cons too. We change directions quickly to keep our much larger business partners happy and we can be a bit disorganized at times.
