Pros

Fast paced, most engineering work is figuring out how to get bigger. I have a lot of flexibility on what I will work on. Great benefits. I do not work with any jerks.

Cons

Growing pains: cramped space, confused managers. Can be high pressure depending on team. Dogmatically far-left-wing politics.
