Fjorge is a great place to work

Pros

Leadership is very accessible, especially compared to larger corporations. They listen and try to make a best effort to implement things that are important to employees. They reward employees with outings when we do well, and the environment is laid back and fun. Definitely a company that’s growing and could do really well. It’s nice to work with really smart people who enjoy challenges.

Cons

Like others have said, there’s for sure growing pains in terms of figuring out process. It’s getting a lot better though. The comments about Chipotle are pretty off-base and are probably from disgruntled employees who didn’t do well here.

Pros

The company has a set of core values that include growth, curiosity and teamwork. My managers care about me as a person and value a good work-life balance for their employees. That's not to say there aren't times when we have to roll up our sleeves and put in extra hours to get something done for a client but in general we strive to strike a balanced and planned approach to our work. Quarterly check-ins with managers allow an opportunity for frequent feedback. New employees have a mentor to help orient them to the company and when we meet our monthly revenue goals as a team we celebrate it with company outings. We have a diversity and inclusion plan and are looking at ways we can help the tech industry be more inclusive by starting with our own backyard.

Cons

The company has grown significantly in the last several years and this has brought some growing pains as we've transitioned from a small, more organizationally-flat company to a more sophisticated mid-size company. Sometimes the rate of change has been challenging but there are channels for input and feedback so that all employees can help shape the company culture and goals.

Thank you so much for your positive review! We appreciate your hard work and dedication to fjorge and our core values. Nearly tripling in size over the past couple years has caused significant growing pains and we thank you for contributing in a positive way through that transition.

Pros

free snacks, variety of projects, cool location, cross functional teams

Cons

Performance reviews consist of check or check minus in chipolte, chipolte meaning you drink the koolaid. Below industry pay, especially for developers. Cult-ish company culture, team leads push semi political values, no diversity-check the about section to see all you need their "pipeline problem".

We are so sorry about your negative experience here at fjorge. “Chipotle” is only one of our core values, which represents our emphasis on collaboration between uniquely different individuals, which makes fjorge a better place to work and grow. A low review in this category means that the individual is working in a silo instead of part of a team, or does not show respect or support for the things that make other teammates unique and proud. This embrace of diversity is why fjorge has committed to the MN Tech Diversity Pledge. We will do a better job moving forward to help new employees better understand the meaning of this particular core value.
