Pros

Team members are highly skilled and motivated, contributing to a productive and inspiring environment. There's a sense of urgency and momentum, making the work dynamic and challenging in a positive way.

Cons

Management, particularly remote leadership, is overly focused on personal career advancement at the expense of team well-being. There seems to be a lack of genuine leadership aimed at fostering long-term success for the team, instead prioritizing short-term gains.

Pros

- Intelligent, hard working, kind, & empathetic coworkers - Impressive technology that just works - Exciting time to be in an emerging industry - Honest marketing: Wing doesn’t over promise, they market what they have done, not what they want to do. -Good pay, benefits, stock options, reasonable hours, etc.

Cons

- Wing operates in a middle ground between scrappy start up and Google corporation, they are trying to build necessary processes and procedures to mature as a company without bogging down productivity. It’s natural growing pains, but can feel like 2 steps forward, 1 step back.

Pros

Excellent coworkers who are smart, helpful and fun to work with. Wing is solving an array of genuinely challenging problems, and seems to be on a trajectory for success,

Cons

The 'share options' scheme is looking increasingly meaningless. We have paper money, but no guarantee of when we can execute, and if we do it's at a made-up price. Oh, and they might all expire at some point. Immediate management is great, but it gets worse as you go up the tree. I have no clue what some of the executives do. Promotion prospects are poor. Leadership is supposed to be important, but I don''t see many examples of it being shown above me. Priorities shift and change, which is part of a new field, but management needs to reward flexibility more.
