Never had so much fun to be paid.

Senior engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It recognizes your value and help you to express. People take care of you. I never received a 'no' when I proposed some solution requiring an investment from the company.

Cons

No always at the state of the art of the technology, but who told the state of the art always is the best solution?

Nothing better than loving coming to work and loving the people you work with and for.

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly, collaborative atmosphere Always something new to learn and always someone to help.

Cons

If you are coming from a cube or office as a developer you are in for a change. Turns out change can be good. Commuting benefits compared to other companies are lacking. For example, no caltrain subsidiary or bus lines.

Business Outlook

Pros

The code you write ships. Priorities are stable, you know what you'll be working on tomorrow. Good planning and high quality reduce crunch time and fires. Strong product management team does a great job defining and prioritizing work.

Cons

Two-year release cycle. Not-invented-here syndrome. Decade-old libraries and frameworks. The lack of modern architecture makes it difficult for high-skilled engineers to apply their knowledge.
