      Pros

      I love working at Code.org. Code.org has a great mission and it's incredible how much progress we've made towards our goal of giving more students the opportunity to learn CS. Some of my favorite things about working here: - The culture here is very collaborative. Everyone is always very willing to help out one another. It also helps that we're all working towards the same mission. - Because we are a small product/engineering team, everyone has a lot more scope than they generally would in a bigger company. - There isn't a ton of process, which lets us complete our work more efficiently. - Code.org has a pretty flexible work from home policy and offers good work/life balance. - We actually get opportunities to meet/interact with our users, through classroom visits, online forums, and calls. - Our management is great and is very open to feedback.

      Cons

      Being a non-profit, Code.org doesn't offer all the same benefits and perks you may find at a larger company like Microsoft, Facebook, etc. But the pay is still very competitive.

      Small team, big impact

      Pros

      Most important: Positive impact on millions of students and teachers, as advertised. Good management sets clear goals and empowers the team, delegates well, rarely micromanages. All code is open-source on GitHub, which feels good and makes a great addition to a portfolio. Lots of opportunity to contribute back to the open-source community as we work. Continuous integration with automated testing allows us to ship daily, and we're always improving our tools and automating more. We own what we ship, and rotate responsibility for deployments and live-site issues daily. Typical dev is on call one day every couple of weeks, very rarely gets paged. Pay and benefits are more than appropriate to local cost-of-living, have adjusted accordingly over time. Very flexible work-from-home policy.

      Cons

      Agile devotees may feel unwelcome or at least have an uphill battle, as we practice agile only in the loosest sense: We rarely pair, don't estimate consistently or define acceptance criteria, don't use scrum or kanban, have surprisingly long "stand-ups," and I barely notice when our sprints begin and end. The team is open to gradual change, but wary of formal process in general. We're a fairly small, flat team, spread across several large projects. This means lots of opportunity for personal growth and ownership, at the cost of often being isolated on a project. Mentorship does not come naturally to us yet (though it's available for those who seek it out) and those particularly motivated by the prospect of a promotion may be frustrated by our flat structure.
