Pros

Very positive work environment with friendly and helpful people. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with people who are hard-working and enjoying what they do at the same time. Involved team in improving way of working on a continuous basis, scrum, stand-ups, retrospectives, etc. Large software stack and diverse tech in use. Great stuff to work on for software engineers : true Machine learning and AI in the product, lot's of fronts, webapps, APIs,mobile apps, great back-end. People go out to do stuff outside together, gym, swimming. Video game party every month in the office, company wide foozball sidetrade cup twice a year, etc.

Cons

Everything can always be improved, Tech teams did struggled for some time to clear some debt created a few years ago. Situation was challenging but we are here to solve things. In the end everything has greatly improved since a year or two by extensively using Agile and continuous integration principles. Changes were made progressively to reorganize everything while still deliver lots of great stuff. Hard work done. Now we improve again on other topics.

Too much bling, not enough employee focus

Pros

Great colleagues, exciting projects, à company with a mission

Cons

No employee consideration, too much emphasis on bling projects that sell to CEOs/CFOs rather than improving existing solutions for those that actually use them.

Pros

Fast pace and cutting edge, I always feel as though we are moving forward and growing both individually and strategically. Because of Sidetrades flat hierarchy the feeling of one team one goal is strong. With a family-esque community spirit among colleagues, you always feel supported and valued in your work.

Cons

At times pressure and work volume is high but this comes with the territory and nature of a forward thinking company.
