Pros

At Nimble, you can really feel that everyone wants the company to succeed. People work hard and you’re assigned many projects, but you get true ownership over your work. Plus, there are always free snacks and drinks! Overall, the vibe is great and you’ll love working here.

Cons

The parking lot can fill up, so you might occasionally need to park elsewhere. Also, the desk lighting isn't always sufficient.

Pros

You'll get a lot of ownership of a piece of their product right away and be expected to drive the development on your own. Lots of opportunities to go watch robots execute the software you've written which I found super exciting. Nimble definitely embraces the "move fast and break things" mantra in the best way Also the office is in SoMa in San Francisco and is easy to commute to from most of SF by bike/bus/car which allows you to live in some beautiful neighborhoods

Cons

Lots of folks work well over 40 hours a week (also kind of a pro; your coworkers will push you to be better and believe in the company's vision). Although honestly most people generally drew the line in the 50-60 hours a week range which still allows you to have a life outside of work. Things can feel disorganized at times with priorities shifting radically week to week. Again, I think this is quite common with tech startups
