      Delusional CEO, decent people, decent pay

      Web developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - market rate pay for design / dev - well-stocked fridges / coffee - diverse tech stack - interns seemed to enjoy working here, and the intern to full-time pipeline is strong. - large personal education budget (I recommend using it to go to a conference somewhere fun, and if the conference sucks just go have fun on their plane ticket dime) - development teams are decently structured, and teams are pretty free to do their own thing re: tech selection, implementation. This also means that the work environment on one team may be totally different from another, so that's good and bad. - the office location has pros and cons, but one major pro is you can take nice walks by the lake - like any larger company you'll probably find people that you vibe with, I made lots of friends here.

      Cons

      - Delusional CEO. Not sure if he thought he was talking a big game to hype up the workers, or if he believes what he says. Either way it's pretty irritating to listen to him talk himself up 24/7 and act like the company is revolutionary when in reality it's just a toy company for bored home-owning boomers. - CEO talks a big game about caring about the environment, but when workers raised ideas about how we could be proactive it's pretty clear that it's all talk . - Unrealistic product timelines, then when it becomes apparent the product timeline is horrible the CEO just doubles down. - support workers are treated very poorly. It's hard to respect a company when they treat people this way. The support workers need a lot of knowledge and patience to do their job and should be better compensated and given more accommodations and praise. The company couldn't function without them. - New office is in a poor location. Not much to eat and the busses around there are brutal during commute times.

      A Great Place to Work and Grow

      Embedded software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is a great company that is heading in the right direction, partly because of the forward-thinking culture, but also because it's not one of those heavy behemoths that fight change. As a software engineer, I feel that the company offers a great learning experience and promotes individual growth.

      Cons

      I believe the only con is travelling downtown and the cost of transportation/parking if your coming from further out. Although, this isn't much of an issue now since COVID happened!
