Great management, great pay, great freedom, great benefits, and great culture are all to be expected at Candelis. It was my dream job and I'd never trade my time there for anything else.
Cons
The company is very small and is thus financially unstable. It also takes on various projects that are out of scope and bring hardship upon the company.
- Great leadership. CEO is very approachable.
- Coworkers are great to work with; everybody is hard working and gets their job done. A lot of dependency between workers is required so this helps a lot.
- Work is challenging and interesting. Get to go on trade shows and experience more than just the software development.
- Leadership enabled me to lead a team and get management experience
Cons
- Long hours sometimes and working on the weekend but that's expected at a startup.
I loved working at Candelis. Their teamwork, their culture, and exciting technical problems that we had to solve, all contributed to advancing my career from a recent graduate to a confident software developer. My colleagues selflessly shared their knowledge and provided invaluable insight when needed them most.
