Great mission, priorities change quickly at expense of stability
Pros
Good culture and work/life balance. Great overall mission of reducing carbon emissions in farming and getting farmers paid more. Engineering and DevOps generally maintain a good developer experience no matter what division you're in. Good health and vacation benefits, no 401k match. I would work for them again despite the cons below and I think that's a pretty big pro. Business seems to be veering towards verification (think "organic" labeling but for "sustainability"). Take that as a neutral remark.
Cons
The company has gone through several stages of product ideation and iteration. It is still recovering from the last stage ending 2020-ish that I'll dub "try everything and hope it makes money somehow we have $1B let's spend it." The nature of the current stage is annual mass layoffs (last three years at least) and aggressively cutting products and headcount in a manner Jack Welch would approve of. I'm almost certain stack ranking is done in this effort. Engineering management generally has their act together and are good advocates for engineering when necessary. Cannot faithfully say the same for upper management as they'll pretend everything is good and sunny until the second it's time to cut headcount. Engineering has reinvented the wheel more than once. Data science and geospatial groups are very silo'ed.
