Pros

Flexible schedule: I had to commute to work, but they didn't mind me coming in later to avoid the high traffic. I was also able to go to the gym during the day. The new office in North Austin is very nice, with large windows looking out over a wooded area. Adjustable height desks and lots of space. Also gave me my preference of laptop (windows or mac). Benefits were amazing, and very inexpensive to add spouse/family members to medical/vision/dental plans. Weekly check-ins with supervisors were often more about what they could do for me rather than the other way around. Providing me with the chances to expand my knowledge/skillsets and giving me a chance to delve into the areas I was curious about was explicitly expressed as a priority by my supervisors on multiple occasions.

Cons

Better documentation and more developer standards/guidelines would have been nice to have.

Pros

Organized team, flexible workflow, good beginner publishing experience

Cons

Got this job a month before the pandemic and the transition to remote was easy and organized. My contracted role was extended serveral times and the team was very helpful as references for future work.
