Pros
- The startup is doing really well, has been profitable for more than 3 years. Subscription base is growing really fast, and the eng team is growing accordingly. - As of now, the eng team is split into 3 sub-teams: apps (site back-end and front-end, mobile development), data (big data, ipsymatch), and "dexai" (payments, core services, shipments, etc.), and engineers of different levels and interests would find interesting projects in all of the teams. The good thing about the team-division is that you're free to switch teams at any time. - The eng team has high quality standards for the software: code reviews, code styles, unit and integration tests. - Engineers are very open to sharing knowledge. We have weekly learning series, where engineers give talks on specific topics. - As the company grows, the team faces new challenges which involve learning new technologies. - Flexible schedule. - Nice office, with good location at San Mateo downtown.
Cons
- No free lunches (only lunch roulette once a week, where employees from different departments are shuffled and arranged into groups)
