Pros

- friendly co workers - pretty cool office - pay was decent

Cons

- there was no individual leading the product or company vision - management did not exist/come to work - seniority complex amongst employees more senior employees - low quality standards for software - quality of codebase and engineering best practices were not prioritized by management. - engineering team was separated from the rest of the organization. The advised way people would communicate with the engineering team triggered a pager duty alert every time. Way too much noise - management did not seem to trust the engineering team. Weekly demos were required so you could prove that you worked on something - perks were not as good as other companies. No beverages in the office, very few snacks, below par coffee machine. - no standing desks - slow internet - no performance reviews - no salary adjustments - engineers not involved in interview process. New people just show up on your team - never saw the CEO. - I was told to not make bug reports by at least two of my leads...

Pros

I was the fifth employee at HONK Technologies. We started in a small Santa Monica office with a bold vision to modernize a century-old industry. During my tenure, we raised more than $60M, signed Farmers Insurance as a client, and scaled revenue past $300M. It was one of the most rewarding professional experiences of my career. I worked with some of the smartest, most creative teammates who pushed me to excel every day. Matt Bijur was a phenomenal manager who led by example and was a tremendous problem solver. CEO Corey Brundage is an exceptional, accessible leader with an effective data-driven approach to product and business decisions. I genuinely looked forward to coming to work each day because I liked the people is was working with and was excited about the change we were creating in the automotive industry.

Cons

All positive, keep up the good work.
