Extremely challenging but rewarding work, motivated and exceptional team members, strong cultural values supported and embraced from the top down. Incredible state of the art products and inspiring leadership with a focused and long term company vision. Competitive compensation package and modernized work policies.

Cons

Challenging scaling rate for fast growing start up transitioning to established OEM. Highly aggressive product and time-to-market goals can mean long hours or high stress periods.
