Pros
- Culture. There is minimal effort in creating this extraordinary culture we have. I won't go into detail on just how freaking cool it is (you'd have to come see it for yourself).
- People. From day one, I've noticed how truly happy the people are. Good vibes the minute you step into the office. This is true all across the board for our French, Swiss & US office.
- No BS. With many aspects within the company, the people, the product, the day to day; you will get genuine response and actions from everybody. We believe in a clear, no BS communication. Which I really respect and am behind 100%.
- Career growth. At SonarSource, if you have a curiosity or desire to learn about another teams' project, you can simply ask to step into their meetings. I think this is a great way of encouraging others to learn more of the company as a giant machine or even to inspire you to seek your career in another team. It has also been done already! We have some colleagues that have moved teams since they've started. Our People and Culture team really helps you with achieving any career growth.
-Inspiration. Personally, I haven't worked for a company that's as inspiring as SonarSource. Being surrounded by intelligent, goal-driven people has inspired me tremendously.
- Travel. Visit Geneva at least once a year!
I could go on and on about the pros. In conclusion, cool people, great product, awesome culture.
Cons
Not really a con, but something from experience. The flat organization is as others said "bumpy" to get used to. So I feel this isn't something for everybody. You have to come in with an open mind and leave your ego to fully embrace the culture. It truly is unique!
