Pros

+ Great collaboration between people and teams + Open-minded and communal approach to problem solving + Culture of learning, growing, and improving + Everyone has a voice and has the opportunity to ask questions This is a great place to work as a developer/engineer, especially if you are looking for a place to grow, want to have significant impact on the product, and prefer a more nimble and flexible development structure.

Cons

Engineering at Life.io tends to be more flexible than at larger companies. This provides great opportunities if you're interested in exploring different systems or you're interested a more nimble structure, but I could see it being harder to get used to if you prefer a larger engineering structure.

Pros

There were very few pros. You can work remotely and take as much PTO as you want.

Cons

Chaos on a daily basis. The top priority today will be replaced by something else tomorrow. This leads to a culture of anxiety, confusion, and the inability to ever get anything done. There is always a rush to push out features and updates that are not thought through. Nobody owns anything, and communication is pretty much non-existent. There is no strategy. Everyone is constantly reacting to client issues and making quick fixes that don’t scale. The benefits are mediocre and there is zero match on the 401(k). While you can take “unlimited PTO,” you will probably still get direct messages while you’re away on vacation. Bonuses were promised, but then never paid out.
