      Pros

      I love working at SitePen! The culture is fantastic and the talent throughout the company is exceptionally strong, which translates into a high-quality product for customers. The company values their people and which is felt in day-to-day work and with all the awesome “perks” provided. The leadership team prioritizes building a great work environment for their employees. Most of the engineers and designers have been with the company for many, many years. Being fully remote for 20+ years, SitePen has the work-from-home culture down pat. There are a lot of team engagement activities that are designed to bring people together and make it a place want to wake up and go to work! The working environment is flexible and efficient and I have the best work-life balance I’ve had in my career. The benefits are great and the compensation is competitive!

      Cons

      The only con I have is massively outweighed by all the Pros. It is a great group of people, making me wish I could pop out for a morning coffee or after-work drink as a team. That said, the company does a lot to foster fun and collaboration online and brings the team together to unplug and hang out in real life at a company retreat.

      Pros

      SitePen has always been ahead of the pack in conceptualizing and developing modern technologies (JavaScript & TypeScript) and in understanding that work-life balance is more important that the bottomline (100% remote since the beginning and not treating its team like butts in seats). Enjoying excellent benefits, never being asked to work overtime to meet a deadline and having my time and expertise valued as a professional and not as a cog in the corporate machine is AWESOME. SitePen believes in not only delivering real value to its customers but also believes in delivering an exceptional experience to its team. And it shows: our team is smart, snappy and super fun.

      Cons

      Not really the place for ascension to the C-suite however, it's still a great stepping stone if you want to learn from a great team and have fun along the way!

      Pros

      I've worked for SitePen for 8 years now and love it. SitePen strives to do the best work so they try to hire the best developers. My co-workers are very very good at what they do. I love working from home. No commuting! You can take a trip and extend a vacation by working from wherever you happen to be. I've lived in 3 different states while working for SitePen. I ended up moving back near my hometown to be closer to family and take advantage of the cost of living. There is no way I could live where I do if I had to go into an office. SitePen is a small company so when the economy declines and clients delay starting new projects, raises and bonuses are put on hold but management makes up for it when the work returns. Here are the reasons why I keep working at SitePen: - Challenging work that is never stale. I work with various JavaScript frameworks and even do some server side work in Java. I'm always learning. - Raises and bonuses. - Lots of opportunities to give feedback on the work environment at SitePen. - Being at SitePen for 8 years means I get 5 weeks of vacation (sick days are separate) and management wants us to take it. We can't roll over more than a few days at the end of the year so we are sent reminders to take our vacation days. - Work from home. I'm not sure I could ever have an in-office job again. - My fellow employees. I enjoy working on contracts with them but I also enjoy our Slack conversations. I don't have to deal with egos. They are just good people.

      Cons

      LOL at the review that says that all new work is prison work. Yes, we did have a contract that involved software for corrections but not all of us worked on that project and we currently have no projects dealing with corrections. If you want to work at SitePen, you have to be ok with a few things: - SitePen is a contracting company so from week to week, it is hard sometimes to predict what the work will involve. Anyone who claims to know what all our future work involves has no idea what they are talking about. - We are contractors so you will rarely work on an application from beginning to end. We get called in when clients need help and sometimes, not always, we have to dive into a mess. - We are a 100% work from home company. You must be ok with communicating via the Internet and keeping yourself on track. - We don't have a corporate ladder to climb. If you are a developer and you do good work and show leadership abilities, then you will have the opportunity to fill a tech lead role on some projects but there is no Vice President of XYZ that you can climb into. For me, this is a good thing because we don't have people stepping on each other trying to get promoted.
