Pros

Working at Steampunk has been a great experience. Despite recently transitioning to a mid-large size company, the small company culture still exists allowing you freedom in how you work (your not nailed-down with the micro-management or bureaucracy you may find in another, larger company), but it's still large enough to have all the resources you need (and more) at your fingertips right when you need it. Also, they're really good at picking good team-members. I've never worked at a place so long and found everyone I worked with to be compatible, purpose driven, and genuinely good to work with. Overall I think it's a really great company to work for.

Cons

Its a growing company and there are sometimes areas of ambiguity and/or the need to step out of your comfort zone and be flexible with the work your doing, but overall the benefits outweigh any potential negatives.

Pros

Steampunk seems to put a major emphasis on hiring good people, and good work stems in part from that philosophy. The company culture is very supportive and inclusive, and remote work helps with the flexibility that life requires.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that you only get 2 weeks of PTO plus federal holidays, which goes fast.

Pros

The company itself is decent, with reasonable benefits and some good people. Work-life balance is generally acceptable.

Cons

Project Management is terrible. The PM lacks honesty when communicating with customers about deliverables and timelines. They frequently overpromise and underdeliver. The PM does not shield or support the team properly and often misrepresents reality both to the client and internally. There is a strong preference for a completely flat organizational structure, regardless of years of experience or expertise. This leads to poor decision-making and frustration for senior team members. The account team is noticeably very female-biased. Male employees often feel sidelined or undervalued in account-related decisions and opportunities.
