Great but takes a lot of hard dedication and a very open schedule
Pros
- Great team - Family dynamic between coworkers - Fun offsite's - Flexibility with working from home - Very Collaborative - Almost unlimited PTO (within reason as long as you got the work done) - Great Health Insurance - Great resources My time at Nutshell was shaping and amazing. I truly grew from working here and developed skills that I'll take with me the rest of my life. The team and the people are all incredibly supportive and caring. Whenever you're going through something, or having a rough time, or even not having a rough time, they'll stand up for you and have your back. The culture is really great.
Cons
- Work-life balance when wanting to grow - Needs more females both in management and in development - Typical stresses when working for a startup - High Turnover - Lack of processes The downsides to Nutshell was that to grow you had to put in a lot outside of work, both money and timewise which makes balancing work and life very difficult. If you want to just keep working your 40hrs you'll stay at the position you're at and be just happy, but if you want to advance and earn a promotion or more responsibilities you have to really put in more than 40hrs which can be exhausting and is not for everyone. Since it's a startup culture and the room for growth without serious commitment is incredibly limiting, the turnover can be a bit high so you see coworkers come and go all the time. They're small and as such, they invest in you emotionally (again, they are all incredibly supporting and loving people) but beyond salary and typical benefits, they can't invest much further than that.
