Pros

Daily life at Fullstack will be unlike anywhere else you've worked. As someone who managed several teams of developers, you will find that each day will challenge what you know and how you do it, in order to meet the needs of the clients. Your co-workers are highly skilled at what they do and there's a very collaborative Slack environment. The designers and creative folks are some of the best you will work with (they're really good)! The executives have a deep interest in being sure you have the best tools, clearest guidance, and a rock-solid process to be sure you can approach each day with the confidence you need to be productive. The folks that would fit best here understand how to mix solid development practices with pragmatic decisions in order to keep the project on schedule and on-budget. The company has flexible policies around when you work, and is generous with compensation and benefits. No matter where you are in your career, working at Fullstack will push you to be at your best, each day.

Cons

Consultancy life isn't for the faint of heart. Work needs to be accurately estimated. Each project has a fairly solid schedule. The expectation is that you will consistently put out work that meets a standard of quality that represents the company. While that's not a "con" for most people, this isn't the place for people that just want to fiddle around with Jira tickets. If you work here, you need to go "all in", but doing so will reap lots of rewards.

Pros

FullStack Labs is a top-notch software shop with one of the best teams I've had the pleasure to work with. Their business model is structured pretty well for their industry, which seems to lead to happy customers and happy teams. The way their projects are managed, time is tracked, and how employees are paid are all harmonious. Everybody carries a small bit of the weight and as a result, no one person has to bear any perceivable burden. Their transparency with employees and clients is a bit shocking at first but without question feels like the correct way to operate. There's not much red-tape. Need to create a new app? Do it. Need to spin up a new server? Go ahead. Need to work from home to wait for a delivery? Just let the team know. There's typically no need to submit a form, get sign-off, or otherwise prevent work from getting done. Everybody has a title, but I'm not sure I know most of them. What becomes more important is the role everybody takes for a given project. I might be a developer on one project and a lead on another. Employees seem to be pretty well matched to their projects and roles and are set up for growth. There aren't really "classes" of employees where one person is perceived as more important as another. The tech is fresh but not ridiculous. Most of the tech we use is "new" but far enough from the bleeding edge where we avoid a lot of wasted cycles. That said, there's not really a "we always use X", so there are plenty of projects using variations of tech in an effort to find out what seems to work the best.

Cons

One downside to having a company which is ~98% software engineers is that you have to be good at speaking up if you need something. Generally, nobody is going to tap you on the shoulder and ask if you'd like a different mouse, coffee, or projects. This puts the burden on you to shape the environment around what you need. That being said, I've personally never had or heard of any request to improve the environment declined.
