      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Great people to work with. Everyone's voice is heard and respected. Co-workers are smart and provide great feedback without being overbearing. - Strong leadership. Clear vision from the top, communicated with transparency. Company higher ups always make time for and genuinely care about the people that constitute the company, not just the bottom line. - Fun space to work in - renewables continue to grow, and you get to be involved in the innovation. - Variety of interesting technical problems to solve; Different teams present different challenges. - Very little process overhead. Meetings kept to a minimum. Developers spend the vast majority of their time actually writing code. - Kirkland location is great for transit. - Excellent work/life balance. Your nights and weekends are your own. - If you are looking for a very professional, buttoned down work environment, this is a great place. Lots of peace and quiet.

      Cons

      - Leadership positions are mostly filled, and it can take a long time to get promotion due to flat structure - Location not great for food options unless you drive a car to work. - If you are looking for "Exciting Startup Culture", you'll have to search elsewhere for your ping pong tables and office kegerator. People are lovely to work with, but don't tend to associate outside of work.

      Good place to work to get experience

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Coworkers are friendly and like-minded over green energy. You get a lot of hands on experience with AWS technologies and working on SAAS type products. Because of the slow revenue, this LLC is working on creating a side shell equity company in order to give some ownership to its employees as an incentive. Work/life balance is excellent. Benefits are good and about what you would expect.

      Cons

      Old and some of the new management come from the old Microsoft culture, which seems to leak into this small company's culture. The company traditionally has slow and slow growing revenue streams because of the type of market they are in. So pay is a bit low even by small company standards and raises are small and far between. The company doesn't do much to retain employees so there has been some turnover lately. There is not much room for advancement and titles seem to be relatively meaningless.

      Great company, just make sure it is a good fit

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Amazing people - some of the best I've ever worked with. - Very flat hierarchy. People respect one another based on their skill and wisdom, not seniority. - Great opportunities to learn full-stack development due to being a small team with very high trust in one another. This is especially useful for more junior devs. - Great trust in one another. I joined as an entry-level dev, worked hard to learn the ways, and within a year, I owned a product and was shipping production code without anyone watching over my shoulder because I showed I was capable of doing it, and would ask for help/code reviews if it was appropriate. At some larger companies, you can easily waste a big portion of your day moving your code through the review channels and addressing all the nit-picks they bring up. - Exceptional work/life balance. Overtime is actively discouraged. If Jeremy Stone notices you working >40 hrs/week regularly, don't be surprised if he wants to chat with you to make sure you're not being assigned too much. - The wide variety of products, especially for such a small company, allows much more variety in your work tasks. Although you will probably be focused on one product group (and maybe even 1 or 2 products), you can still contribute to others, and support the developers in those other groups. - Company growth is a little slow, but it is also self-funded with good revenue growth, and many customers are large and slow-moving entities like electric utilities, making it a very financially stable company.

      Cons

      While CPR is great, the environment is not the best fit for everyone. Make sure it is the kind of environment you are okay with. If any of these are a concern, I strongly recommend asking about them during the interview, or if you are already an employee, talk to your manager about it. People will do what they can to help remedy the issue. - A small company with many products means that teams are very small and quite separated. You may end up working alone or just one other person for most of the time. This affects some product groups more than others, and is becoming less of a problem as the company grows. But the day-to-day life can feel quite lifeless at times. However, this is just about preference. Some people prefer this kind of work environment since there are far less distractions, and far less wasted time. - Many customers are slow-moving or heavily-integrated entities that are unable to adapt to much change. This can make it much harder for products to move forward and evolve. Though this is often the case with a well-established product. - Pay is likely less than what you would get at one of the other big companies in the area (eg Google, Microsoft, Amazon), but that should be no surprise.
