Great Place to Work - Software Architect Noteflight Employee Review

- Fantastic product that is innovative and impactful - Awesome team with strong accountability - Supportive and flexible management - Great camaraderie across the team - All the benefits of a small (<20) startup company, with the stability and security of a larger company (as Noteflight is now a subsidiary of Hal Leonard)

- So many ideas, so little time! Everyone has great ideas to improve the product, but with such a small team, it can take some time for good ideas to filter down through the priority list and make it to the live site.

Two main hiring criteria are: 1. Must be extremely smart. 2. Must be extremely nice. Those rules are adhered to strictly, and the result is a team of extremely smart, nice people who work well together and have a great time doing it. The working atmosphere is a combination I haven't seen elsewhere of being very relaxed and "humane" with regard to people being human and needing to attend to their lives, while also very focused and hardworking and getting tons done and moving the company forward rapidly.

Very few cons - sometimes the fast pace of change and shifting relationships as new people join the team can be disorienting, although once people arrive they don't usually leave, so good relationships build over time, and several founding team members are still here almost 10 years later.
