Pros

1. Management really truly and fully cares about the employees 2. Management pays attention to hours, to make sure that you're taking enough time for yourself. If they see you working too many hours, they request you take a day off! (Really!) 3. More snacks than you can imagine. And drinks. And Lunch. And some spicy carrot things the owner makes. 4. Game night (hybrid, online games) 5. We have our own Minecraft server to play on 6. Movie nights (hybrid) 7. Bookclub 8. Outings and events (rented a theater so we could socially distance ourselves and enjoy a new release together, rented TB Grand Prix so we can celebrate "best places to work" recognition together, Halloween party complete with pumpkin carving, and so much more) 9. Weekly meetings with 100% transparency into finances, plans, goals, upcoming changes 10. Great benefits (med, dental, 401, pet insurance, education, and more) 11. Did I mention snacks, because dang there are a lot of snacks! 12. Work remotely, in-office, or hybrid as much as you'd like 13. Frequent info gathering on how to make the culture better 14. Great team members; intelligent, creative, thoughtful, funny 15. 6-hour workdays because home-life matters 16. Volunteer opportunities offered for local not for profits, with ample time off offered to everyone to participate in an N-F-P of their choice, every month. Every day, I find something new to love about Sourcetoad. Every day, I laugh, learn something, and feel valued as a person, not just as seat-meat. My opinion was shown to be highly regarded literally from my first day here. Everyone is treated as an equal; while we do have an org chart, treatment is completely flat. I'm treated as great as the CEO is.

Cons

1. All your friends will be completely jealous of your job 2. You will realize how toxic your other jobs were and be a bit miffed that you allowed yourself to be treated as an employee instead of an integral partner of the company's success. 3. I literally can't think of anything that I'd call a con!

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.
