Pros

The people, the facilities, the activities and comfort factors around the office, the focus on giving employees the best environment and best equipment and possessions for optimising comfort and efficiency. Very relaxing and fun place to work. Work is challenging and rewarding. Training is better than anything college can teach.

Cons

Slight politically liberal undertone, at risk of becoming pervasive. Though that is prevalent in almost all large companies so maybe should be dismissed in a review.

Appreciate the review and candor on the advice to tone down any perceived politics. We really want to be sensitive to this and address it if needed. Thank you for the notice. This is how we listen and improve continually as an already great company!

Pros

- We are growing extremely fast so there are tons of opportunities to join/form new teams - One of the best companies in the area by far, regarding benefits, culture, and pay - Big enough to have typical the "huge company" perks, but small enough to still be casual in a lot of ways

Cons

- We are growing extremely fast and most hires are fresh out of college so you spend a lot of time training new people (meaning there's generally not a lot of experience on any given team) - A lot of our newly hired senior engineering management are a lot more talk than walk and really should have been hired at much lower levels given their contributions

Growing Pains Minefield

Business Outlook

Pros

- Fast growth means lots of room for career development - Reasonably good pay, great benefits and PTO - Lots of brilliant coworkers - Opportunities (sometimes involuntary) to wear a lot of hats - Post-startup culture means lots of flexibility... sometimes.

Cons

- Growing pains means lots of overcommitment on the part of management, paid off by "encouraged" unpaid overtime - Lots of junior hires without many mid-senior hires makes for nonexistent mentorship and a lot of terrible design/practice - Delivery and sales always prioritized over quality, operational integrity, or design - Heavy, pervasive culture of guilting and shaming of devs by management. You will be asked if you are a team player frequently, and rarely referred to as one.
