Continuous Improvement, Passionate Team Members, Exciting Technology
Pros
* Insanely smart people who push themselves and help each other improve and do better * A company culture that values individuality, diversity, and creativity of its team members * Leadership that is obsessive about continuous improvement for our customers and our team * Paid benefits, free amazing gourmet lunch, awesome company events.... there is no shortage of perks and benefits * Career path and mentorship programs, and a strong preference for promotion from within * Agile and devops are in the DNA of the company from top to bottom. * Transparency: if you ask, you're likely to get a useful answer. AWeber is a technology company, but is a lot more customer focused than many technology companies. The customer focus is what binds our whole company together as a unified team. In other tech companies, engineers don't even know the names of people in marketing, and sometimes there is no real customer service presence. At AWeber, product teams are cross-functional and cross-departmental, so the daily standup and other team meetings include people from marketing, customer solutions, product, as well as all of the engineering disciplines - development, QA, operations, design, etc. The cross-pollenation and ideas that come from this diversity of thought is pretty amazing.
Cons
* Occasionally the company moves *too* fast to improve things, either in the technology space, or in the process/management space, which can cause some bumps & bruises. It's usually worth it.
