Pros

• Welcoming environment for freethinking, as new ideas are wanted and discussed • Excited to improve and not afraid to change to make that happen • Management are developers; therefore, they can empathize with you about the challenges of being a developer • Frequent opportunities to learn new things and grow as a developer • Professional development expected and encouraged through access to company provided training and time • Balanced approach between collaboration and focus development time • Given the tools you need to get your job done • A practical development approach that is focused on the customer • Developers work throughout the entire code base not just a specialized area • Working remotely

Cons

• The practical development approach may be frustrating to some developers who prefer a more "by the book" approach • Working throughout the entire code base may not fit the developer who prefers only front-end development, for example • Working remotely isn't for everyone; it requires self-disciple and self-motivation

Pros

5 weeks of PTO Remote

Cons

What may appear to be a promising company from the outside quickly unravels after joining. Beneath the surface, there are serious issues with leadership, culture, and transparency. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the sales department, where turnover is alarmingly high — full teams have been dismissed within weeks. That kind of churn points to deep-rooted management problems, not individual performance. One of the key selling points to recruits is that there’s “no quota.” In reality, there absolutely are performance benchmarks — you're just not aware of them. The lack of clarity makes it nearly impossible to succeed, while micromanagement and constant monitoring create a stressful and unsustainable work environment. Leadership is inconsistent and often reactive. When the CEO stepped into a direct management role, communication broke down and morale took a hit & never recovered. Feedback became more about control than growth, leaving employees feeling demoralized and undervalued. This environment might appeal to someone comfortable with ambiguity, pressure, and high turnover. But for anyone expecting clear direction, competent leadership, and a healthy workplace culture, it’s likely to be a disappointing and short-lived experience.
