A Place to Grow

Pros

This place is growing rapidly, and along with that, your career can too. Since joining 22 months ago I have been promoted twice and won presidents club. They do not focus on how long you've been with the company, but more on your ambition and determination. When it comes to perks, you get a catered lunch, fully stocked canteen, travel card fully paid for, healthcare, dental and very well compensated.

Cons

It's intense, we're going for #1, so everyone in the company is playing a major part. This is not a company to come in and coast. But if you're ready to get stuck in, progress your career, and be part of something exciting, this is the place to be.

Pros

- Great people. The vast majority of engineers are both smart and fantastic to work with. There is a genuine sense of collectivity and very few politics or unwillingness to help. - Life work balance. Engineers rarely work more than 9 hours a day, most days probably less. - Things actually get done. Unlike other tech companies I worked for, things actually get done here. Without stress nor crazy working hours. I attribute it to the fact that engineers are experienced and the managers get to the position based on being good managers, with common sense and social skills, rather than legendary coders who many times can't manage more than themselves.

Cons

- Branding: The recruiting process is very picky, which is a good thing, but lack of branding results in getting candidates that rarely pass the job interviews. I feel that we spend much more time than needed in trying to hire new talent. - Not all teams have the same kind of dedication and proficiency. Most teams are a pleasure to work with. There are very few teams that lack the talent, will, or both. Still, these teams can create a very frustrating bottleneck for the rest, when working on a joint project.
