Pros
- The leadership team at Nebulab is highly approachable and genuinely listens to employees' concerns and suggestions.
- Given that Nebulab is a relatively small company, it is relatively easy for individuals to make a significant impact.
-The leadership goes out of its way to ensure developers feel comfortable and well-treated.
- Opportunity to do some Open Source.
Cons
- There is a sense that the company might prioritize its image and growth over its people. This was evident during a significant layoff of talented folks last year, which coincided with a luxurious team retreat. The funds for the retreat could have been used to retain one or two people for at least a year. The same keeps happening now.
- Nebulab was in a rush to expand during the pandemic e-commerce boom, but that resulted in financial mismanagement, as highlighted by the layoffs. Still, priorities look above where they should be.
- There are some concerns about the company's stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), given the Principal Engineer (with high influence over leadership) has a history of making far-right extremist, misogynistic, and anti-trans comments on social media.
