Pros

The culture here is positive, creative, and enthusiastic. People here take ownership in their company and want to make it the best it can be. A few weeks ago, one of the business development people was asking software developers if one of us could show her how to use the internal tool we use for generating technical documentation. The tool uses git version control and a local web server to generate documentation. Of course, she got volunteers to teach her. In no other company that I've worked for would a person in the biz dev corner be remotely interested in learning to use a software tool, or furthermore, a software developer interested in teaching her. The collaboration and sharing of knowledge makes this company a lot of fun.

Cons

We are doing something that is difficult and we are doing it fast. The people you work with are intelligent, hard-working, and friendly, so it is not a bad place to be, but the hours can be exhausting.

Pros

You really do work with the best people in the business here. Everyone is a pro. There's very little hand holding and you need to get a running start when you hit the ground. There's never a boring moment either. Since we're so focused on interfacing with hardware, there's always new toys.

Cons

Since we move so quickly, we can sometimes sacrifice quality in favor of speed to market. This is changing as the company grows and there's been a much larger focus on quality. Work life balance varies. It can get kind of hectic sometimes.

Pros

The whole company is passionate about the work we are doing and the direction of the company. People strive to learn and evolve their skills all while pushing our platform forward. Coming to work in the morning is awesome and Mondays don't have the traditional slowness they do other places. The benefits are great and the management team values hard work and personal sanity. Overall an amazing place to work.

Cons

Work-life balance can be a challenge.
