Pros

Being a part of team that constantly reaches for new ideas and putting best foot forward in terms of impact in the world. Everyone is working towards the same goal. Collaborative, lots of smart coworkers with different backgrounds, and can contribute in many different ways You really have to carve your own path, if you're used to typical corporate structure, things will be tough for you, but rewarding. Amazing office with a view in Park City, with lots of amenities nearby You will work hard, and things will be demanded of you. Your impact is felt when you put in your all, and when you don't. you are held accountable.

Cons

Different dynamics between offices, difficult to navigate at times. Things move very fast here, so communication and smaller details can get tough to manage.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Banjo! We thank you for your kind words about our talented workforce! Everyone at Banjo is highly intelligent and working towards the only goal, our mission “saving lives and reducing human suffering". We truly believe in bringing together talented individuals from all walks of life to collaborate and get to the best possible solution. Banjo is a fast paced environment, and everyone works hard to achieve our mission, whether that is independently or as a team. Our managers challenge our employees everyday to help them grow and develop, but you are right, you won’t find your typical corporate structure here! We are a startup and our employees are self-starters, who take charge in their careers and success, we also recognize that our environment is not for everyone. We love Park City as well and have already seen tremendous benefits from having it as our new HQ. There are communication challenges at times, but that is part of the reason why we have centralized our core teams in Redwood City, CA and Park City, UT. We appreciate your feedback on communication between the teams and we are working to bridge the gap! Thank you again and best of luck!

Pros

I will list three reasons why I enjoy working as a dev at Banjo. 1) Justin Lindsey (JL) is a very personable CEO. He does a great job of getting to know his employees and recognizing their hard work. 2) Engineers are given autonomy and trust. We are not micromanaged (so long as we prove that we don't need to be). 3) The company fosters a supportive environment. Shortly after I joined the team, many devs reached out to welcome me to the team.

Cons

Hmmm I am required to write five words here, but there are not any cons that come to mind.

Pros

-Strong team members that understand big picture -Company dedicates itself to growth and success daily, from an individual entry level position all the way up to the CEO -Pave your own way mentality: titles won't be outright given, people have to earn them, but if they put in the work, their efforts are rewarded. -A startup solving an existential problem that has a pulse on the individual contributor. All ideas are met with possibility, maybe not all executed or implemented, but definitely addressed in some way. No idea is too grand or impossible, if it's a good one, it can and will be implemented for the betterment of the team. -Open Door Policy: Entry-level team members have opportunities to communicate with and learn from executives on a regular basis, providing growth and support along the way of an individual's time at the company. -Work hard to play hard: company has exciting incentives that are happening all the time, from bonuses to outings. -Adaptable open-minded work environment: team members put in what it takes to get to where they need to be, adapt to changes in tech constantly and keep a positive and open mental attitude about it, most people from less demanding work environments do not stay, making the culture full of people who are extremely dedicated to the company.

Cons

-Demands of team don't always match up with tech updates -Due to the sporadic, intense (yet exciting), day-to-day, communication and transparency from upper management can't always be executed in a timely manner, producing unintended consequences at times.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Banjo! We are happy to hear that our people feel they are part of a strong team dynamic where everyone sees the big picture and wants to achieve our mission! That’s exactly why we only hire the best of the best! We love that as a smaller company where everyone knows one another, our people are able to communicate and collaborate with one another. Our people respect one another and are always willing to help each other grow, both professionally and personally. The technology world is ever-changing and we couldn’t agree more, it is important to be positive and open-minded when starting new projects or solving complex issues! We appreciate all of your feedback and have been working on more transparency from department to department as well as more consistent feedback to all of our employees. We appreciate all of your hard work and dedication! #teambanjo
