Pros

Management is pretty flexible and employees a lot of latitude to make decisions. Co-workers are bright, intelligent and creative. Most people really care about their work and are willing to help out others as well. Casual dress code. Fun relaxed environment. Game nights, movie nights, sport teams, really fun company parties. Monthly lunches that spotlight various employees. Daily salad bar, snacks, expresso machine. Ping pong and fuse ball for breaktime. Excellent and affordable benefits. Good location.

Cons

Communication is not always the best. People sometimes forget to inform other teams of changes. It seems that when the teams / managers don't agree about things out isn't always resolved well.

Pros

High-paced organization on path to growth. Remote work is awesome but also plenty of opportunities to see co-workers in person. New leadership with eye to service and innovation. Company has been around for over 20 years but still operates like a start up so plenty of chances to have influence.

Cons

Competing priorities, sometimes budget is hard to come by. Slow planning process.

Pros

-Remote-first, WFH stipend, decent PTO, Great Place to Work Certified. -Not too woke for a CA company. -Recently went private which hopefully will be a good thing. -Good work-life balance, I never work more than 40/week. -If you like AI-assisted development, Github Copilot (for everyone) and Claude Code (for seniors) are provided. -They haven't had layoffs since 2024.

Cons

-Revolving door of upper leadership. Brand new CTO; who knows what he'll do? -Many dev teams are majority cheap offshore contractors. Minimal feeling of being on a team; I don't know most of my coworkers. No teambuilding activities. -Reliance on poor metrics like code coverage and velocity. Managing by metrics and dashboards. -Minimal salary raises. -CEO sends out motivational "rah rah" emails every Friday. -Disconnect between what developers are experiencing and what upper management thinks is going on. -Company is going "all in" on AI, and have unrealistic expectations of what AI can accomplish. Like they think they can get A-level work out of C-level developers through AI usage. AI fatigue is real. -Not all managers are emotionally intelligent or even technically adept.
