Pros

There's plenty of opportunity for growth at Origin. Management is very easy to communicate with. They care about the success and well-being of their team members, beyond their career at Origin. I have been given the opportunity to work on and research the technology that I want to. I've been given responsibility over our project that I never had before. That tells me that the management trust me and wants to set me up to succeed. The people I work with are my favorite part of Origin. Everyone is passionate about their job and the well-being of the company. They're fun to be around and they care about you beyond work. The financial compensation is competitive with the market, and you get a considerable amount of travel time.

Cons

Since it is a small company, with a tech department starting from the ground up, there are periods of time where everyone is expected to give 110% to meet a deadline. That's what I expected when I took the job. Everyone at Origin cares about the company and wants to see it succeed. I personally don't mind putting in that extra effort when the time comes, because majority of the time Origin is a relaxed work environment that treats its employees well. The management is very understanding when I need to take time off for personal reasons or traveling.

Pros

Love working for a small company with big goals. When features or changes are thought up, there is no red tape. We put things into action instantly. There are enough new features and challenges that the team gets to work on what they want to which is a great perk of a smaller company. The team is really close and full of smart people. Everyone, in all departments, is passionate about what they do and the best at what they do. Has all the pros of a small company: option to work on whatever you want, make a huge impact to our products and company immediately, work alongside a small dedicated team. You definitely learn to be flexible with your tasks as we slide things in and out of sprints frequently. Fast passed job that prepares you for anything! The department is new but we have an awesome team of engineers and are creating new processes to improve our deliverables and lives each sprint!

Cons

If you're looking for the relaxed paced, consistent task life of a bigger company, this environment can be VERY stressful. As mentioned above, tasks and scope are often changing and we pivot frequently to accomplish what we need to. This can be very stressful to some engineers, and we work hard each sprint to improve our agile processes within our company.
