Pros

Its small so it has a feeling of a small family. People are supportive at work and fun to hang out with at leisure. Many could become personal friends. Also because its a small company, you get the chance to get engaged in many different things and take initiatives - as long as you're willing to.

Cons

Company direction is not clear and changes all the time. This can cause the company to miss key timing or trends. Currently the company is undergoing struggles to redefine itself. Many great people were either let go or left, which does change the atmosphere. However on the other hand, if the company can shape things up, it can be a great place to work again.

Pros

-There's some really top shelf people who work here, who are ready to nurture those willing to learn -There's plenty of scope for going out and building your own thing -People genuinely like each other and are pleasant to work with. -No "bro" culture. -Going home at 5pm or even earlier isn't looked down on as long as you're not leaving things half-done, and when workload gets extra heavy people try to help.

Cons

-Managers don't seem to be able to tell who is actually productive -It's difficult to get rid of dead weight -Persistent communication issues between engineering and management

Pros

Nimblefish is an exciting startup environment to work in with some smart motivated people, innovative products and great clients. There are many opportunities for growth for those that can manage the politics and difficulty personalities. Its a very flexible work environment.

Cons

Nimblefish has a tough time focusing on what needs to be improved. There are always plenty of ideas but not enough commitment to make difficult decisions necessary to affect change. Some personalities are very difficult to work with and drive some very talented people out.
