Pros

Azuqua is on the bleeding edge of a very fast moving and evolving market. The company has a solid foundation with a best-in-class product, a number Fortune 50 enterprise customers and a pretty newly formed, but really strong leadership team. It's a great place for people who are self starters with big ideas that just want drive on those and make things happen.

Cons

There's a ton to do and the company is moving very quickly, so structure and hand holding isn't always there. The structure part is changing but it's still pretty quick into the fire and people need to be really self sufficient in order to succeed.

Pros

First the pros - Azuqua has put in the hard work to invest in people over the past year and it shows. They are actively engaged in ensuring that team members are happy, challenged, and growing across the organization. Highlights: - Active and Helpful HR Team - Free snacks and drinks (including Kombucha and Beer on tap) - Free lunch on Friday - Lots of Nerf guns - Open minds - even in leadership - 401k and Healthcare - Work from home policy - Improved system for 1:1s and reviews The office features a beautiful view of Elliott Bay, which is amazingly relaxing!

Cons

There are not a lot of cons, which is great. Here are two that I'd offer: One potential con could be on you - the job candidate. "Startup" means that you'll experience frequent change. If you're not ok with that, make sure to talk with your hiring manager and others in the company before accepting a position! Other than this, networking bandwidth is a serious problem that affects day-to-day work.

Pros

Very smart engineering and marketing/customer advocate staff. Beautiful view in the entire office. JS stack mostly. Free snacks. Business class Orca card.

Cons

Provided Healthcare is only subsidized, not free. Ridiculous unsustainable microservice "architecture": don't worry about design, just make a new service. No testing, docs, or examples for the most part (plenty of RANDOM 1 line readmes though). Bus factor of 1 - knowledge is localized to each employee, so good luck building a new project that uses 10 microservices and none of them have a robust API or docs - better hope the person who built it isn't out sick that day! Euphemisms for policies meant to hide the fading "startup culture". Inexplicable and inefficient management of engineers. Employee Equity as listed on job sites never comes up, so your salary is your salary.
