Pros
- No egos or prima donnas at this company. - Still less than 50 employees so you'll know everybody on a first name basis. - Very capable senior management that listens to its employees. - A diverse range of interesting problems to work on. Home building is a rewarding and interesting problem space ripe for digital innovation. - First rate compensation and health benefits. Lots and lots of equity. - A practical interviewing process for software engineers. No whiteboarding insanity or useless brain teaser questions. - Offsite retreats to different locations in the US every 4 months are really, really fun. - It's all remote. No more getting stuck in traffic. You can work in your pajamas! - Unlimited PTO
Cons
- Entirely your responsibility to maintain a healthy work life balance. Your home is your office which can make it difficult to switch off during the evenings or weekends if you're on the cusp of solving a problem or completing a feature. - Things move fast at Higharc, which is to be expected for a startup. Ambitious set of features on the drawing board can seem daunting at first. - No 401k match
