Pros

- Lots of smart, extremely kind people to work with - Feeling of satisfaction that the product is really helping merchants - Opportunity to do creative work and learn across departments

Cons

A little ways in to the classic "Agile Transformation" which is forcing all teams (including the Kanban ones) to Scrum. Even in the honeymoon phase, teams are obsessing over burndowns instead of creating value. Various people have been given authority to do this transformation for the sake of predictability. It's pretty clear this is a useful way of avoiding responsibility for mistakes and lack of vision between leadership in Product, Engineering, and Program Management.

Pros

There are so many, but here are some of the ones that specifically drew me to BigCommerce: - The culture. The people here are so amazing to work with. Everyone is happy to be here and happy to help with any questions or concerns. It's really refreshing. - The benefits. There are a lot of benefits you get just by being an employee, and then the medical/dental/vision insurance is well priced and covers quite a bit. - The management. This could be classified under culture as well, but being able to meet your entire management team on your first day, instead of just being stuck in a room with a trainer is really nice. I appreciated the fact that they took the time to make sure that we got to know everyone from facilities and management within our training period.

Cons

-Shift scheduling is a little weird, and they are 24/7 which means there is a possibility that you'll have the overnight shift. But, they do ask you if you are available for it when you get hired, and they won't put you on it if you say no.
