Pros

Great remote culture- most people don't travel at all. Good PTO - 20 days 401k matching 100% of 4%, immediate vesting SAR grants after you've been there a year Expensive insurance-about 900/month for family w/ dental Above average pay Average worker age is very low due to turnover.

Cons

They sell themselves as a custom software shop for banks. Company is actually driven by selling developer hours, and most people have client facing roles. SA position is also in charge of managing all developers, an odd practice I've not see elsewhere. Very high turnover. People celebrate 1 year anniversaries Using vacation time is hard, with customer deadlines Heavy drinking is the norm. Office coolers are stocked with beer, and is allowed on company time. This will bite the company, sooner or later. Very meeting heavy. Plan on 6-8 hours of meetings per day for non-developers, and 2-3 hours/day for developers.

Pros

-International projects, Good benefits & Remote

Cons

Backbase was awesome when the LATAM hub started, Europe work culture, collaboration with other hubs. But then people with old ideas and bad management were hired and changed everything for worse.
