Pros

- Some of the brightest and most hard-working people work at Dynamic Owl. Supportive, helpful, protective, and will always go above and beyond to help each other and to do their best possible work. I've always found our culture to be incredibly positive and the amount of investment that has been put into our team has been well beyond what I've seen in other companies. The Founders were always generous and supportive of our professional development. I can say that working at Dynamic Owl has been transformation for my career. - To match the team, DO's customers are just as wonderful and a pleasure to work with. This is not a typical consulting shop - projects are selected very carefully and everyone cares deeply about ensuring our customers' successes - our customers would attest to this! - Company recently went through an acquisition. This move will not only preserve the future of Bonzai but will power the team to deliver more services and more options to our customers. Every small successful company eventually needs support in growing and expanding especially at this rate. This was a great move and one will ensure the future success of the product and the customers. - Contrary to some previous comments, not everyone was let go but everyone received very generous compensation and notices which is uncommon for an acquisition. A good number of employees have been offered long-term positions. The transition has been executed with complete transparency and respect for all employees but of course not everyone will be happy and understandably so.

Pros

Passionate Founders and Employees have created a nirvana. I can truly state that the high rating is because of the above. Every single employee is committed to producing the highest quality work. The reason that I see for this is how open the founders are about making our software better and this humility has inspired the staff to be truly innovative. The founders are also committed to their employees as people. They want to ensure that we are getting everything we need. They are committed to our professional development and not knowing something is not regarded as a deficiency it is regarded as an opportunity to teach. I have learned more in the last 3 months as a result of feeling comfortable in sharing what I do not know than at any other organization. It's the little things that also make an enormous impact. Little notes of praise and encouragement go the distance to impact engagement. I truly love working here and enjoy the people I work with! The founders take hiring very seriously, as a result, there is no B team. Imagine this: an all star team working beautifully together to make an award winning software for our members. There is more than a little magic at play, this is the way it should feel in any organization.

Cons

The only one I can think of is that I wish I could spend more time in the same office ( I work remotely). Thanks to slack, I still feel very much a part of the team. So, not really a con just a testament to how much I enjoy my colleagues.

All in all a great place to work.
