Rewarding, but not easy

Pros

If you come to work at CourseHorse you will be amazed by how motivated everyone is to problem solve, and how often people are stepping outside the basic confines of their role to help others. The entrepreneur spirit is inside every team-member, and they are all empowered to find the best solution.

Cons

This isn't the stereotypical start-up from TV/the movies - it is not the glamorous office space with ping-pong tables everywhere. If all the aesthetic bells and whistles are what you are looking for, you should look elsewhere.

Lots to do, loving it

Pros

Lots to do as an engineer. Team is always open to new frameworks or changes to existing code base, big or small. Great place to express new tech/ideas as well as learn tons of new stuff. Engineering team is very efficient and friendly as well. Working culture is pretty relaxed and flexible. Work however you work best pretty much. But make sure to get stuff done though. Every department in the company is very transparent with each other in regards to what is going on. Can easily learn and stay in touch with everything going on with the company. Like the transparency very much.

Cons

Lots to do and not enough man power (yet). There wont be anyone to constantly watch over in times of difficulty so might get a little rough but at the same time learn a ton.

Pros

A lot of smart people here; you learn super fast and get exposure to a huge breadth of topics. Huge opportunity for ownership and independence. Also, a super fun/positive culture.

Cons

Although teammates are always willing to help, if you're looking for a robust organization with mentors, support and managers, this isn't for you.
