After 3 Years, I Can Say "Seriously Avoid" - Anonymous employee safeXai Employee Review

I will list three reasons why I enjoy working as a dev at Banjo. 1) Justin Lindsey (JL) is a very personable CEO. He does a great job of getting to know his employees and recognizing their hard work. 2) Engineers are given autonomy and trust. We are not micromanaged (so long as we prove that we don't need to be). 3) The company fosters a supportive environment. Shortly after I joined the team, many devs reached out to welcome me to the team.

Hmmm I am required to write five words here, but there are not any cons that come to mind.

-Strong team members that understand big picture -Company dedicates itself to growth and success daily, from an individual entry level position all the way up to the CEO -Pave your own way mentality: titles won't be outright given, people have to earn them, but if they put in the work, their efforts are rewarded. -A startup solving an existential problem that has a pulse on the individual contributor. All ideas are met with possibility, maybe not all executed or implemented, but definitely addressed in some way. No idea is too grand or impossible, if it's a good one, it can and will be implemented for the betterment of the team. -Open Door Policy: Entry-level team members have opportunities to communicate with and learn from executives on a regular basis, providing growth and support along the way of an individual's time at the company. -Work hard to play hard: company has exciting incentives that are happening all the time, from bonuses to outings. -Adaptable open-minded work environment: team members put in what it takes to get to where they need to be, adapt to changes in tech constantly and keep a positive and open mental attitude about it, most people from less demanding work environments do not stay, making the culture full of people who are extremely dedicated to the company.

-Demands of team don't always match up with tech updates -Due to the sporadic, intense (yet exciting), day-to-day, communication and transparency from upper management can't always be executed in a timely manner, producing unintended consequences at times.
