Incredibly supportive management and the perfect remote setup. - Customer Support Specialist BulbThings Employee Review

I get to collaborate with incredibly smart developers and LLM engineers globally. The internal knowledge sharing is phenomenal. The code is very well documented and maintained because it is mandatory to follow code simplicity and optimisation rules. This made it easy for me to get started and ship features. It also helped me improve my coding skills.There is no micro-management: Because we are fully remote, trust is the default. You are judged strictly on your output and the elegance of your code, not butt-in-seat time, which I am totally fine with. Which brings me to the previous negative reviews I noticed here. I find them very unfair because when hiring, the co-founders are clear and upfront about what you can expect (pros and cons) when working here and who they are the best fit for. Second, these reviews are from some freelancers who were hired to help with exceptional overload but were very bad at their job, got fired or gave up. I actually saw the code, PR reviews and attended all the meetings.

It's a feature-rich platform so I find the learning curve to be steeper on the functional side (i.e product features) than it is on the code side.

I joined Bulbthings because I loved the product which the CEO demo-ed to me in one of our sessions. I think the fact that they are growing in such an "unsexy" market with zero funding proves how great the product is. Day-to-day work: co-founders fiercely protect engineer calendars. We have uninterrupted blocks of time to actually write code. We aren't bogged down by legacy systems. Working on an AI SaaS means we are constantly building with the latest frameworks and LLM orchestration tools, which keeps my skills sharp. Pay is pretty good too.

Don't come here is you need the perfect spec sheet before you start building. You have to be comfortable asking questions, getting the input you need to carve your own dev plan. Depending on seniority it will be reviewed and valiadted by the CTO before you start coding but you are the one in the driver seat.
