I recently joined a biotech/hw startup after working at much larger companies. I love the trust that everyone puts in me. I feel like I'm my own director, of a team of 1, and that I can work on whatever I want, but people trust me to be working on important stuff. There are so few barriers between having an idea and actually shipping it. And everything I ship improves the experience for our customers and our internal team by so much! As a programmer it's also been a ton of fun working with hardware and in the biology domain... not sure if I can ever go back to pure programming! Also everyone is so nice and kind and smart and curious. Honestly sometimes I look around and wonder if everyone is just messing with me. Since joining I've felt excited about going to work, in contrast to the past when I was just excited about what was going to be for lunch at work.
