Extend, Inc. Software Engineer reviews

Working at Extend is rewarding and exciting. Every week we see more and more growth as merchants pour in to partner with us. The culture is laid back, yet very productive, and everyone helps each other. The stock option potential is limitless and the leadership has worked together on several different companies and have a proven track record of success (they sold their last company to DocuSign). We pride ourselves on the mantra "there are no stupid questions." Features are built, tested, and shipped quickly and effectively. There is always something new to learn or challenge yourself with. The PTO policy really is flexible - you are encouraged to take time off when you need it. It's a productivity driven culture, so working from home when you need to is easy and flexible. It's still a relatively small company and a GREAT time to get in early.

I know it might sound cheesy, stating in the title that this company is like a family, but it is remarkable. There are a lot of referrals in this company and much of the leadership has worked together for a long time. In some cases more than a decade. This means a lot of interpersonal relationship issues have been worked out years ago and a lot of people have been friends in and out of work for years. The end result is this company treats everyone with respect, can be playful and fun, and can do all of this without a bunch of discomfort. It's a very pleasant environment to work and operate in. Beyond the general comfort, people operate with integrity here. This comes from the top down and the bottom up. Everyone owns their work, including mistakes. I hear honest reasons and not excuses for things. People do what they commit to or they inform you ahead of time if something has changed and they can't. This results in a lot of workplace predictability. You can depend on these people. For the aspiring engineers: this is the single most elegant and sophisticated code base I've worked in. Bleeding edge technologies handled with care. Just the right levels of abstraction, always a desire to improve things while avoiding a loss of productivity.
