Pros

In my experience, Neverware is built on treating employees like adults. There are growing pains, but overall this has created a remarkable culture. Time off and working from home are self-managed and largely governed by an honor-system. That allows work/life balance to co-exist with the kind of passion and (occasional) above-and-beyond effort that helps young companies succeed. The team is still small and very meticulous about new hires, but that's partly because everyone here could go get an easier job with less "dirty work", and is staying here to be part of something unique. Maybe not everyone's thing, but where else will you get to work on a desktop OS without being part of a mega-corporation?

Cons

It isn't AI, ML, AR, VR, or any other sexy industry trend. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The company is still in an awkward-teen-phase when it comes to establishing good managers providing the structure people need. It's happening.

Striking the right balance - in all aspects - is always a challenge. I'm glad to hear that our decision to empower team members with a ton of autonomy is attracting people who thrive in that environment. The challenge of putting the right organizational structure in place (which includes good/experienced managers) in a growing/evolving company is a REAL challenge. Appreciate that you called it out - I think we are better than we were, but we certainly have a ways to go.

Pros

Management is very transparent, thoughtful, and open to input and ideas from the team. This results in employees who are engaged in their work and the overall direction of the company.

Cons

Being a small/young company, there are always things to be done and challenges to tackle. Sometimes there's a lack of time or resources available to beat-back against workload, but generally speaking we're given the tools needed for success.

I love to see transparency and engagement called out by a team member. Nothing is more important. On the time management front - deciding the right tools and resources for investment is a huge challenge. I'll try to keep up the openness if you do too - thanks for the feedback and keep it coming.

Pros

Awesome team, great office culture. I still see people from the office socially even though it's been three years since I worked there. Learned a wide range of skills while on the job; at a small company, it's common for every employee to have a fairly diverse range of responsibilities, which means you learn a lot.

Cons

The diversity of responsibilities can be exhausting sometimes. Salaries are not as high as at more established tech companies.

I'm happy to hear your "pros" and I quite agree with your "cons". I think the Neverware team is (and always has been) our greatest strength. Its why I love coming to work everyday. We do ask a ton from our people, and I recognize that sometimes it can be too much. We are trying to get better about that. And you are also right that we can't match the salaries of the established tech players in NY - that's just one of the realities of being an early stage technology company. Thanks for your thoughtful feedback!
