Pros

The team is very collaborative and great at communicating between departments. Throughout my time here I always felt like a valuable team member who's ideas an opinions were being heard an implemented. Every project is different as Gravity Jack works with cutting edge technology. That requires the team to solve unique solutions, often to questions that haven't been answered before. Great benefits including unlimited PTO!

Cons

As in any small business all employees wear many hats working on many projects at once. While this keeps all employees involved longer in the process it takes away from the time that can be spent on refining each project.

Pros

A tight knit community of incredibly intelligent and creative individuals. I never felt uncomfortable working with any other player on the team, and everyone is incredibly agile in the way they work. The office space is great, and employees are respected (flexible time off and work from home when necessary, stocked kitchen, HTC Vive and other gaming fun for lunch or after work, etc etc). The benefits package for health, dental, vision, and 401k were shockingly awesome for a company of that size.

Cons

Not cons at all, but instead, expectations you should have going in to a job with GJ: - Be ready to work in a very independent environment. Your ideas will be valued, and likely awesome. Create, but never be afraid to ask questions of your peers. Learn the specific roles of each person on the team (sales, QA, Unity dev, back end dev, modeler, videographer, etc) and figure out who to go to with which questions you have. - Do not be afraid to contribute to creative discussions, and do not be upset or offended if your idea isn't the right one for a particular project. The best idea is always implemented, and oftentimes your seed of an idea that is initially rejected will be changed and blossom in to the best solution. - Client needs are always first, so respect their ideas even if they don't seem to click. Many clients are open to our creative suggestions (my favorite type of client) but if they have something oddly specific in mind, get it done! - Be ready to drink from a firehose! You will hit the ground running, but you have a crew of individuals who will happily support you during those likely confusing first months.

Pros

I had a great learning experience and I view my time there positively. My peers were helpful, encouraging, and pushed me to tackle some hard problems that I enjoyed. * I rarely needed to work over 40 hours / week, which was much appreciated. * They’ve got a lot of interesting projects. * We had an “education hour” where we were able to take Coursera classes to further our education.

Cons

When I left, the company was shifting focuses. As such: * They’ve got some baggage from their transition from being a startup. * Pay was not particularly competitive and there has been significant wage disparity. * There was lack of transparency about their goals and lack of communication about the state of the company. I am hopeful their outlook will improve, they just might need some time to figure it out.
