Avantages

My context: relatively new hire as of this writing. I work with all facets of the business from sales to ops to engineering, etc; lived through startup life before. Human API is/has: -Trying to solve a big health data problem that is functionally critical (not "fuzzy") -Dedicated and solid core of people who are smart and passionate. Strong personalities, but importantly, open minded. -Market traction: while a complex product, nearly all potential customers take our call, or are reaching out proactively -(As of this writing) extremely dynamic/important time both in market and team development: every new person and customer makes a difference. As for other poor/sarcastic reviews, my advice to candidates: come and see for yourself, and ask lots of questions.

Inconvénients

These are more considerations--the company is too small not to determine your own destiny at any level and one man's trash is another's treasure. No red alarms that aren't typical growing pains at a company of our size--there are never enough resources and getting through this the point of being in a startup. Problems this quarter are strengths two quarters from now, etc. Those not use to working with larger enterprise customers should expect long sales cycles. Use of health data is very much in its infancy in a lot of respects--prepare for the long game and battling deep entrenchment.

Avantages

My personal career growth has been great while here. Having been hired as a junior, I definitely feel that I've been invested in and have been given opportunities to take on more senior responsibilities. I still feel like that's happening at the time of writing. I feel that this speaks to the company's values quite a bit; if you're curious, are willing to fail in public, and are willing to move on to the next thing when you do, your team will invest in you. I've seen multiple coworkers of mine stepping up because they wanted the opportunity to do so, and because the opportunity was readily given to them. Apart from that, the product is well-researched and growing fast. The engineering work is interesting and scaling fast. No ridiculous politics. Making a difference in a space that needs one.

Inconvénients

We go too fast, or we make decisions about what to build too slowly, so we build using duct tape. This was good when we were a smaller startup, but scale has turned this into a problem. Shinier product takes priority over stable product too often. I'd love if we could do more of hiring junior engineering talent and moving more senior talent around internally, versus hiring senior talent externally.
