Pros

Sittercity offers a lot of opportunity. As a developer, I work with modern technology to solve interesting problems in a business space I can be proud to work in. The people I work with are all intelligent, passionate and supportive, which is very motivating. In my time with Sittercity, I've leveled up as a developer and with process. I've had the opportunity to contribute as an individual to projects as well as the engineering team, and company.

Cons

We have some ambitious plans for our product which require time and resources. Management is mindful of the time people are dedicating and do what they can to limit long days, but with ambition comes a lot of fast-paced, hard-work.
