Pros

Compensation is excellent. Benefits are outstanding. The people are helpful to newcomers. There was constant encouragement from management to learn more and grow as a Software Engineer. Small wins are celebrated. I still talk to my former coworkers all the time. It felt like everyone in management had an open door. I could just hit up anyone in the chain of command on Slack with comments/questions/concerns and felt heard.

Cons

I felt as though I always needed to be looking for other work because every 3 months or so there would be another round of layoffs for one reason or another. When people from HR magically disappeared and found other jobs, the canary in the coal mine died.

Pros

You will never be bored at MoveHQ. There's always something new to develop or code to improve. You're always growing and learning. This is an exciting time in the company's life and everything feels like a new chapter. While MoveHQ was previously two separate but related companies, a year ago they merged into a single entity under a new parent organization, so this is an exciting time in the life of the organization. Additionally, the company is a few months in on a much-needed agile adoption and opportunities to improve code, processes, and products abound. We're making leaps and bounds as an organization in maturity and are focusing on what's next.

Cons

The codebase is very aging at this point and its maintainability and documentation are not great. While we are actively encouraged to improve things and fix past mistakes, not everyone is capable of taking an old codebase and working to actively improve it with every commit, so that's something to keep in mind when evaluating MoveHQ as a potential employer. The culture still has some growing as well, with people tending towards negativity and complaining instead of digging in and making things better / taking ownership.
