Pros

Incredible leadership with a wickedly smart CEO. Stephane is prioritizing all the right things and having a technologist at the helm will help us move more rapidly and focus.

Cons

So many things we'd like to do, and not enough time to get them all done!

Pros

You make a difference and the core business of the company is fulfilling. People who work there are really good people

Cons

Lots of good ideas and potential with the platform but things don't always move fast enough because there wasn't a unifying vision - more from fire to fire

Fun culture, great mission and smart employees. This could be a huge company if they get it right.

Growing pains organizationally as roles and responsibilities are always well defined.
