Pros

• CTO with a passion for open source software and loved by developers • Strong and welcoming culture created by employees • Good work life balance, though it is getting harder • Solid product and bright peers in engineering/product

Cons

• Pay is bad. No raises. Many of us casually talk about leaving because the job market is really good right now • # of employees has grown and its become harder to balance getting everyone up to speed and also doing the job for those of us who have been here a while • Leadership team is either aloof or unaware of the day to day challenges employees face. Misalignment, poor planning and accountability issues are slowing things down

Pros

I had an excellent experience interning at a mid-sized developer-focused software company. The team fostered a strong learning environment with approachable engineers, solid mentorship, and a healthy culture of code reviews and collaboration. I was given real ownership over a backend project that improved internal workflows and simulated customer-facing processes, which helped me strengthen my understanding of distributed systems and testing practices. The company’s remote culture was organized and supportive, with clear communication channels and helpful feedback loops. Overall, it was a rewarding internship that gave me both autonomy and guidance in equal measure.

Cons

Honestly hard to find any cons — the team dynamic made collaboration smooth and enjoyable.
