Avantages
I have been a part of many of the changes this budding standup has had to make as they find the path to success. While not every decision has been correct or effective, Viewpost does have the resiliency to keep trying until it works. With that resilience comes the opportunity to learn and try different things, especially when it comes to technology and techniques. The team I am on embraces that mentality to build the application with the bleeding edge technologies that other large, successful companies use for their own applications. About 90% of our application is based on OSS libraries and frameworks. The team is highly collaborative with each other, treating each interaction as an opportunity to learn. We also, in contrast to several other reviews as this is a recent change, have a great degree of autonomy in doing what we need to do to succeed.
Inconvénients
It is a volatile environment, though that comes with the territory of being a startup. I do believe it take a special kind of person to work in this environment however, knowing well that we have to work extra hard to make this work, but that it might not be enough anyway. The silver lining in that is that the skills gained in a short period here set you up favorably for anything that comes afterward.
