Pros

It's a nice place to browse the web all day. There is a refrigerator full of beer. Great place to code kluges.

Cons

Coming from a true startup, I joined realizing the company would be slow moving but the system we've built defies all attempts at progress. If you want to build stuff, rather than add another klugy work around that keeps things running, you are advised to stay away. Former Oracle people are taking over in a bad way.

Posted on behalf of Juan Pablo Dellarroquelle - VP, Engineering: Thanks for your review – it’s clear that you have not found nor, been able to create, the environment you were seeking in coming here. I am truly sorry. Building something great takes time, dedication and, more than anything else, ownership. I am extremely proud of how we embrace all of our engineers for what they bring to the table, their commitment to working hard and their willingness and courage to change the environment around them no matter their accent, skin color, or their prior place of employment. I believe that when we bring our whole selves to work we can create the best possible outcomes. When it comes to what we build and how we build it, it is hard to understand what “staying away” means or why you’re advised to do so, I welcome the opportunity to learn more about it, if you care to share with me. Regarding vanity, there’s nothing I worry more about than taking ourselves too seriously, losing perspective, or becoming full of ourselves. So I ask you, please do stop by and chat with me. I sit in the open space, just like everyone else. Sincerely, Juan

Pros

Flexible time off, inclusive culture, autonomy in role, great pay and benefits

Cons

Not a lot of opportunity for growth on a small consulting team. Time sheet process was atrocious but perhaps it’s improved since I left.
