Pros

1. Great learning environment - everyone on the team is very friendly and open to pair/learn from. Lots of skill sharing! 2. Full ownership - not just of development but also of scoping/design 3. Fast pace - at Heron, features are shipped fast and new tech is implemented almost as soon as its released 4. Proactive promotions/compensation increases - I never had to ask for one, promotions are given proactively during quarterly reviews 5. Genuinely great people that you get to bond with - I really enjoyed connecting with the team during off-site events and team lunches, the culture is great in general

Cons

Very fast-paced with a constant flow of tasks, expected from a startup in growth stage

Pros

Great people working on a challenging problem. Truly an amazing company from top to bottom.

Cons

The ICP can be a little abrasive, but this challenge will smooth out as Heron moves into new industries and use cases.

Pros

Full of smart, hardworking people.

Cons

You’ll see many extremely talented new hires in both product and sales let go prematurely. Given no sufficient time to prove themselves or ramp up. This creates a culture of distrust, despite all the positive media employees may share. Very niche customer base that is hard to understand while being unideal and unprofessional to work with.
