Pros

- Free breakfast once/wk - Free lunch twice/wk - Lunch once/wk is supplemented with a presentation "lunch and learn" - The other lunch is at a restaurant of your choice with your team - Board game club (with dinner included for free) - T-shirts, t-shirts, t-shirts (swag in general) - Relaxed company attire and culture - Project based teams - Located in Charlottesville, VA (not a city) - As many peer/supervisor one-on-ones as you want - Monthly education budget - Library of really good books - 401K/HSA + 50% company match - Stock options - Standing/sitting desks + monitors + macbooks - Work when you want, where you want, as long as its conducive to your team - We hate "meetings" - We are brain surgeons, not doctors, not waiters - I'm constantly learning - Company happy hours every Friday (yes, free alcohol) - We have beer on tap, wine and sometimes hard liquor - ERGs - Recruiting rocks - Company all hands biweekly - Referral bonuses - Transparent about pretty much everything

Cons

- Compensation is average to start (not sure about promotions/retention yet, but I know retention is ridiculously high so I'm staying optimistic)

Great people, exciting work, and lots of learning opportunities

Senior software engineer

Pros

1. Everyone who works here is awesome to be around. I spend 8 hours with them and then go hang out with them more after work because they're so awesome. Not only are they awesome but they also care a lot about their craft and take pride in what they work on. 2. You will learn a ton working here. Everyone is constantly trying to stay on top of new technology, discuss best practices, etc. People are very generous with their knowledge. There is also a big focus on mentorship to spread knowledge around. 3. Flexible hours, flat hierarchy, no micromanaging. Lots of trust and freedom are given which produces great results. 4. Lots of variety in terms of projects. Also, very big name clients which is cool. 5. Charlottesville and Durham are great cities. 6. Management is very approachable and tries very hard (successfully) to make it a fun and fulfilling place to work. I could keep going

Cons

The cities have relatively low cost of living compared to say NYC or the bay area, so your salary will probably not be as high as it could be elsewhere. Allocation has been somewhat tricky lately which means it's hard to pick what project you are on or move off of a project quickly if you don't like it. Management is trying to remedy that though.

Great place to learn

Pros

You’ll work on lots of projects that matter and learn a ton from it.

Cons

Anyone good enough to get hired and be effective here could make 2-3x the salary by moving to a major tech hub. Join for the location, lifestyle, product experience, and brand names... not the compensation.
