Pros

* Service ownership - get to experience the full cycle of software development * Work with dedicated people * Competitive pay & benefits with 401k matching and unlimited vacation * Get to help others improve their financial situation * Work from home I read through many reviews that are pretty harsh on management, and our CEO in particular. I think a lot of people don't appreciate that good business decisions aren't necessarily obvious from an engineer's perspective. If in doubt ask questions! I have found Martin (our CEO) extremely receptive to questions. Further, I have found him to be an incredible businessman. He knows what he is doing even if he doesn't explain everything he is thinking as he goes. But again - ask him and he will be transparent about the reasons behind his decisions and priorities. The mission is honorable. There are a lot of people that don't understand how money works, how credit scores work, and how to improve their financial standing so they can accomplish personal goals.

Cons

This is a relatively small company and our management has to make course corrections along the way so we can achieve our goal of profitability soon. There are limited opportunities to get together with your coworkers since everyone works at home. I have been at Array for almost a year and haven't met any of my co-workers in person. This isn't terrible, but different than what I am accustomed to.

Pros

• Really interesting engineers to learn from • Unlimited PTO • Easy promotions • You could easily work another job and this job, time flexibility is good

Cons

Sadly many of these reviews are true. The biggest pain point is management. My biggest highlights are: 1. Managers expect junior and eng 1’s to take over the work of fired senior engineers. Increasing the complexity and size of you workload. This will be considered an EXPECTATION. 2. Management will force you to rush a product and wonder why there are weekly outages. When outage occurs management will likely sneakily blame engineers when engineers were instructed to complete a feature “by any means necessary” 3. The quarterly layoffs are real. There is essentially heavy distrust and little moral because this company is continuously finding way to cut corners 4. Favoritism and rudeness, if a manager doesn’t like you they will figure out how to embarrass you and riddle your dm’s with nasty retorts. They will purposely try to make your job harder in hopes to drive you away. Some managers seem more bent on trying to demean you rather than just telling you what they need 5. Everything is broken and old. If you are a backend engineer you can rarely run backend services locally. Get ready to deploy tons of half tested code. This goes back the weekly outages.
