A lot of talk, not a lot of doing

Pros

Good benefits, nice team, passionate people, flexible schedule and unlimited PTO

Cons

Of the 8+ hires in the past year, all have been let go in addition to more longer term serving staff. The high turnover in the team is quite disruptive considering the size. Not a lot of the team have been around for more than 2-3 years. While there is unlimited PTO, there often isn't the ability to utilise it as there is no one to cover your work so rarely are staff taking consecutive days rather than long weekends. There can be a lot of overtime required without full accrual of days in lieu, you might get 1/3 of the time back if you can even manage to get the day off! There's a lot of talk about changes, policy and improving ways of working with little to no implementation. A lot of the issues discussed would be expected in a young <5 year company and not of this tenure (12 year+). The shifting to quick financial wins rather than longterm investment adds extra stress to the team, things naturally crash and there is a lot of pointing fingers and quick to avoid ownership

Pros

The people at Battlefy including all the engineers, product managers, designers, salespeople, admins, and founders are all high-caliber, determined individuals united under one vision of being the leading esports technology platform that powers esports experiences. Just by being in this environment, you'll be supported, encouraged, and challenged to be a better version of yourself every day. Hyper-aligned engineering philosophy and practices. The technology stack is very simple: AWS, ReactJS, Mongo, Postgres, and NodeJS. Tons of infrastructure in place to accelerate experimentation and spin out new microservices/web applications. Very pragmatic and open-minded engineering culture. Esports is a very new and exciting market.

Cons

You as a candidate need to manage your expectations. Real talk: It's a fast-paced technology startup that has gone through multiple chapters of war-time to become THE leading esports tournament platform in the industry. They have a culture of being determined to win. You should join Battlefy if you want to make an impact on esports and if you want to accelerate your professional career with insane growth in a short amount of time. It was the most challenging and fun chapter of my professional life.
