Pros

Sourcetoad is the kind of place that I've always wanted to work at. I am surrounded by very smart people, doing complex things, and I get to be involved in what we do. The stuff I design and build gets implemented in the real world in very big venues, and actually makes a difference. You don't have to beg and plead for raises or money either. Negotiations are always for and productive. Compensation has been improving, and is now pretty competitive. Benefits are excellent. I've gotten to travel to tons of countries in Europe while working here, and been able to see a lot more of the world than I thought.

Cons

- Sometimes we run out of my favorite beers in the mini fridge and shopping doesn't come in for another week. - I have not liked all the choices for movie night. I don't get all the Nick Cage references.

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.
