Great Organization

Pros

Great perks and great people. We've experienced a lot of growing pains in the last few years, and I think we've made some mistakes in hiring management, but overall it does feel like everyone is genuinely trying to make the organization a better place to work.

Cons

Growing pains with regards to managers understanding in the tech and interest in the engineer, as well as guidance for continued growth. However I think this is starting to improve with internal promotions of sr engineers into managers.

Pros

Strong team with good rapport and skill in various areas of development. The software we build is also interesting to work on and the whole team is involved in decision making. Everyone works well with each other, and new employees get into the stride of things quickly. Company is moving away from an ancient codebase and is willing to trust developers with the direction and tech of new code.

Cons

Having to live in New Jersey. Atmosphere with other teams can be a bit rough. CEO is not willing to budge on remote work. Fixed hours even for devs is silly, but not enforced. CEO has historically not done right by the company, but is clearly turning a new leaf.
