      Not perfect, but a pretty great place to work

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very collaborative culture - Friendly coworkers - Lots of talented people - Good compensation and benefits - Big focus on work life balance; the office empties out pretty quickly after 5

      Cons

      - Compared to most tech CEOs, Stewart isn't bad, but I don't think he's figured out how to be really effective at guiding an organization of our size. He still wants to micromanage. - We still write a lot of PhP - Slack is kind of behind the curve as far as using data

      Great place to work

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interesting problems to solve. Smart, fun, caring coworkers. Overall the most transparent place I've worked. Focused on increasing diversity. Good perks and compensation. Feel empowered to try new things and make changes.

      Cons

      The company is getting quite big so sometimes getting things done can take a while (compared to a startup). Being in a remote office sometimes makes it hard to feel like part of the rest of the greater company, however, over the short time I've been here so far, it's gotten better! The review process doesn't seem consistent across engineering which can make it hard for people to all feel like they are getting and able to provide useful feedback.

      Good place to work overall, take bonus with a grain of salt

      Senior engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overall this has been a good place to work. The company is growing, the product and teams are growing, so there's opportunity to take on challenging work of increasing scope and complexity. The senior leadership of the company is experienced and better than other places I've worked, and the new senior leadership hires all seem to be people with good backgrounds who I respect and think will level up the company. Work-life balance is extremely reasonable.

      Cons

      They tell you "here's the target bonus percentage," what they don't tell you is that there's also a company multiplier, which historically has never been 1. It seems based on rather optimistic stretch goals. Don't expect to get your full bonus amount.
