Pros

Small company, close relationships with coworkers. Gives a huge wealth of new skills and experience to more junior engineers.

Cons

Compensation does not keep up with experience gained in comparison to the rest of the market, and any raises must be fought for. Provoke's Seattle office was once 60% women and has since dropped to 0% women. Culture is fun as long as you're in the majority. Work is stressful but can be rewarding. Most of the devs are junior, and that can lead to difficulties delivering on time and within budget. No matching 401k.

Thanks for the feedback We do have two main businesses, one in NZ and one in the USA. That said, we are one company that often leverage each other’s resources. This is a great way for our teams to get experience working for international clients but most of the business is services by resources located in country, so there really isn’t a formal notion of a “main hub” Thanks again

Pros

Laid out the mission and let us get to work. Free to make big contributions without micromanagement. Minimal meetings to disrupt developer flow.

Cons

A little bit vague on client timelines and deliverable dates. Some full-time employees did not contribute quality code but showed volume of git commits which seemed to be valued.
