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

I worked with some of the smartest people I have ever worked with. There were no egos and everyone on the team were willing to help if you got stuck on a problem. As whole, Fjorge promotes the idea of growth in terms of knowledge and as a company. The positive culture is to help you succeed so the company succeeds as a team.

Cons

The only cons I have would be minor improvements to onboarding process, but have no doubt these will be made.

Pros

The variety of projects will always keep you on your toes. Even during slower times everyone is challenged to find new ways to learn and become better at existing skills. There is a strong emphasis on accountability, following core processes, and genuinely supporting one another. Developers and Project Managers are paid hourly with full benefits, including overtime, so you are fairly compensated for all hours actually worked. fjorge leadership assesses goals and processes quarterly and all employees play a crucial role in resolving root issues on a weekly basis. There are plenty of opportunities to have fjun, including fjing fjong, reward nights, company parties, and pod happy hours. The core value “Chipotle” (that other reviews rag on) is all about enjoying one another’s passions/hobbies, being generally supportive of one another, and embracing diversity. I nearly turned down this job 8 months ago due to bad Glassdoor reviews, and I am so thankful I didn’t.

Cons

fjorge has grown nearly triple in the past couple years, and there are still some growing pains, but the company has already seen remarkable improvement in just the last 6 months. There are two types of stresses: stress from too many projects all with tight timelines, and stress from not enough projects and people not feeling productive enough. These are just the tides of agency life. To succeed here, you need to be able to stay positive during both tides, still have fjun, and find ways to self-improve during both.
