Pros

- Working on a product aiming to disrupt the video conferencing space is exciting and very relevant to macro trends happening in the world right now - It's still early days for the product so individual engineers have a lot of say and opportunity to shape the architecture and direction of the product - The team is awesome! Everyone I have worked with is smart, talented and a pleasure to work with. - The company fully embraces remote work. Remote is seen as a competitive advantage, not a hurdle. Periodic remote team building and in-person gatherings help us stay feeling connected.

Cons

Like any early stage startup the success/failure of the product is an unknown. But this is a good motivator—I know what I do every day can have an impact on our success.
