Pros

Company has a strong vision that everyone who works there believes in. Smart, motivated teammates who value collaboration. Strong growth and learning culture, no ones standing still or coasting. Focus on code quality and engineering practices, little red tape to introducing new ways of doing things. Flat management structure with lots of opportunity to own your own work and make impacts business wide. Company cares about its employees, good work life balance, there's always support as long as you ask.

Cons

Some growing pains at current size, trying to work out the right balance between too little and too much process (more often too little I think at the moment) Company's vision is at times dauntingly ambitious

Pros

Fantastic vision with a few impressive team members. Smart group of employees who care about changing the industry. Ability to give anything a go, encouraged to take risks and learn from mistakes

Cons

Zero company culture. Zero paid maternity or paternity leave. Senior leadership void of clear direction, late to the party on worldwide trends (ie AI). No HR. Cancelled training and upskilling programs - lack of career growth opportunities. Combative senior leaders who encourage the same style of behaviour.

Pros

- fair pay - quality product

Cons

- between project managers, designers and other engineers reviews, there are many meetings - many decisions are done by consensus during meetings - young codebase, but already split into micro services with a big graphql API and had the need to be deployed all together. Minor changes that need changes across multiple services took to much work for no benefit.
