Business Outlook

Pros

We get the best of both worlds in the Atlanta remote office: all the benefits of working for an established company AND the relaxed atmosphere of a small office where everyone each other. I look forward to coming to work everyday and working with top notch software engineers. Our office works on a diverse set of projects including the core Register app for Android and iOS, the web dashboard used by merchants, and multiple backend services in Java, Go, and Ruby.

Cons

Working in a remote office requires us to be proactive about keeping in touch with people and projects in the SF headquarters.
