Pros

People are very smart. There is room to grow. It's not uncommon to see people who have been in the company for 1-2 years becoming Leads. Huge responsibilities from day 1. "Choose your own adventure" -> You can create your own growth path in the company if you see the need for it. For example, if you work on X product/customer but you see that there is a need to develop another product, you can start working on that without an issue (as long as you don't jeopardize your other role). D&I is big here. You can get as involved as you want with this, and that's awesome! Overall, this is an amazing company. I love it.

Cons

Too much autonomy at times. This is also a pro, but being independent and figuring out things on your own is not for everyone.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work.

7 rounds over 3 months, with multiple rounds of technical interviews. The final round was pushed back a week, and then they messaged me saying they had already filled the spot, canceling the final round.
