Pros

Sourcetoad is an excellent development shop mixing the world of small business requests to large scale enterprise solutions. The technology used in both the projects and development environment never fall behind which provides a very flexible environment to develop in. As a Software Engineer you are given plenty of options (if used) to enhance your knowledge set whether from classes, conferences or webinars. Paired with that Sourcetoad is a big contributor in the Tampa community which results in plenty of developer meetups as our space is used for meetups. The company is growing fast as we've already moved locations and expanded in the new location. You can rise fast and be immediately in a position where the work you do is put in the real world. In terms of the office, hours are flexible and as long as you are getting things done working from home and vacation requests are always approved. Drinks and snacks are always at the office in case you start to get hungry. Company sponsored events are frequent so employees become more than someone you just work with.

Cons

As we are growing very quickly, sometimes its hard to figure out the direction the company is heading. Recent changes and monthly company status updates have begun to resolve this, but sometimes news catches you off guard if you are worried about always knowing the direction of the company.

Pros

Sourcetoad is a great place to work with people who care about your personal growth.

Cons

There are not many cons; just in years, the company has been trying to evolve its business strategy to avoid layoffs, so there could still be some challenging roads ahead.

Pros

It can be a good place with decent work life balance. Management is usually willing to train and promote within. They are understanding and can really feel like a "perfect" place to work at times, which is why you will see lots of good reviews. But don't drink the kool aid!

Cons

Layoffs, layoffs, layoffs. Almost every year. No job security. Unfortanely no matter how hard you try to make a place have a great culture without money flowing in things fall apart. Sadly consulting is a very tough business with tight margins and highly dependent on clients whims. The main issue is it seems they can't figure out how to create a stable revenue and with a tough market and fierce competition from offshore firms Sourcetoad is in a tight spot. To me it also seems they overspend and overextend, all of the nice little perks you get as an employee come at a cost to the business. They also tend to overhire which caused a big downturn a couple of years ago where they invested into a possible business that when it went sour employees paid the price. Anyways I can't recommend this place because despite the possibility to be a great place they can't offer job security.
