Pros
Conductor offers a great culture for the engineer who wants knowledgeable colleagues, a variety of challenges, and many engineering learning experiences. There's a good balance of new tech and established process in the stack. Work-life balance is very good for a company of this size (mid to large startup) in an emerging space. People do work hard and put in long hours, but there is also enough flexibility to live a healthy life. There is a very high degree of visibility across the company, with weekly summaries from each department. Management is very accessible. Mistakes are used constructively. The annual C3 trade show it hosts really drives home how much your work means to the people who use the product. Having worked at other places that stumbled on numerous organizational pitfalls, I can say Conductor has managed to hit a difficult sweet spot. The culture here is well balanced, positive, and I enjoy coming to work.
Cons
It's sometimes hard to balance new development while addressing preexisting tech debt, but these factors are well accounted for in task planning. It would also be good to see faster hiring - the company has a lot of features it wants to release, and a lot of responsibility rests on our shoulders.
