Extremely Fun

Pros

- Relax environment - Friendly coworkers - There's a drive to move to the cutting edge technologies - Good development tools

Cons

- There is an undertone of this not my fault, when doing the work. - The company is growing, the codebase is growing and as that happen there continue to be this black boxes which are not owned by anyone which makes you spend more time trying to figure out what/how to test a extremely old code, instead of producing new results. - It feels like we are playing catch up with the bigger player in the industries which is not a nice feeling to have.

Refreshing Culture

Pros

Working with smart, hard-working, and committed professionals that aren't "fake nice" but are genuinely kind people is a refreshing change of pace. I feel like we're fighting the good fight together towards common goals, vs. competing with each other to be the top of the stack. Benefits are great, especially for a pre-IPO company, and the perks are nice. The food, beverages, and snacks are great. Generous time off (take as much as you need to recharge), and a non-hierarchical management make this place stand out. I love that the CEO, Co-Founder, and other Sr. Leaders are accessible, and that there's a weekly Q&A where we can ask questions and get updates on the company.

Cons

Sometimes the need to get consensus slows things down a little, but on the other hand it also helps us avoid a lot of rework when people aren't bought in.
