Pros

You will learn a lot of technologies you might or might not be aware of that are currently used in the field. They have adapted well to remote work for covid and the training gets easier as the weeks progress

Cons

Rigorous start and funnel type process. Overall will help you zone your skills as a developer and get you into the field.

Pros

This place is incredible! Lots of opportunities for innovation and growth. Everyone is hardworking and dedicated and for a smaller company it's amazing how much is still being accomplished. Management is super supportive and accessible as well as friendly, driven by results not ego which is refreshing. Coworkers are also hardworking and friendly, I feel like I'm on a team with a mission.

Cons

If you're uncomfortable with taking initiative this might not be the best fit; this is a place to bring your A-game and innovate.

Smoothstack Response

Wow, love this feedback. We are a family at Smoothstack. We work hard and are mission driven. Happy to have you on my team.
