Pros

Since Formation is a small company I have a lot of autonomy to make decisions and lead initiatives. My voice matters here. And my contributions are immediate and impactful. My boss is AWESOME. The culture is great, the people smart and clever. Plus its cool to work on tech that is totally disruptive. Plus they're giving away goats to poor people!! I love working at a company that has a conscious.

Cons

Hmmm....let me think....pizza every Friday is getting old. I'm hoping they change that up.

Pros

Enthusiastic marketing department, great product, overall seems like a progressive company that creates a good atmosphere for its workers (including remote work). A startup that believes in its mission without being culty or forced.

Cons

Some decisions could be made by one or two people, instead of including multiple people (for certain situations)

Pros

Formation has a great culture, awesome product and the team is fully empowered to execute on the vision. Offices in Fremont, CA and Boulder CO provide access to a lot of startup resources and the company provides a lot of open communications with weekly all hands meetings to provide status on customer deployments and an "open-door" policy with open, honest communications. Lunches are provided and the company makes sure that employees have the tools they need to get their jobs done effectively. Formation uses agile development methodologies to be able to respond to customer requests and market/competitive opportunities very quickly.

Cons

Formation is a small startup company, competing in a very big market (Data Center Cloud Storage) so it is expected that there will be a lot of competition, but seems to have the right management team to navigate this closely.
