Pros

A lot of smart people to work with.

Cons

Everything feels like it’s on fire all the time. There are a ton of people needed to make small decisions. Owning a very small piece of the business but I need approval from everyone before launching features.

proprietary language sued to code, stagnant and not useful elsewhere immediate management is not technical, so it gets difficult when trying to explain super technical stuff seen politics play its part
