It's a startup environment with direct input from the CEO and CTO (great people). The technology is cutting-edge, and the environment is fast-changing. Their team is results-driven and people-focused.
Cons
Startup: If you like a highly structured, highly process-driven company with limited changes, you should look elsewhere.
+ Competitive compensation and benefits.
+ Minimal calls and meetings.
+ Easy access to anyone in the organization for any questions.
+ Monthly company updates where the CEO and COO break down the numbers and explain their impact on the business. Personally, I found this to be a great way to gain a broader understanding of business.
+ Constantly working on different projects.
+ No "we're a family" nonsense - just "work harder, get paid more."
+ Leaving the company wasn't dramatic, and we were able to discuss a "win-win" situation. I might consider coming back in the future.
Cons
- Occasionally, you have to manage legacy syncs and API deprecations.
- Clients are spread across various US time zones, making it tough to maintain a work-life balance at times.
- Dependence on certain app support teams and their slow response times can create a lot of tension and throw off your planning.
- A "niche" business
