Pros
Core Value: Partner Powered Plusgrade does not have customer, it has partners and it’s because of this bond Plusgrade is able to make an impact to the economy. That’s why there is a vast catalogue of products, programs or opportunities that’s its hard to keep up. Core Value: Be Hungry A software engineer / developer at Plusgrade is empowered to keep innovating and their contribution propagates to the company products and tools. That’s why it’s not uncommon that plusgraders have a sense of ownership on the outcome of their creation. Core Value: Better Together Plusgrade has always been a company that puts people’s names before their titles and it remains like this to this day with cross-team collaboration, inner source projects or helpfulness from plusgraders that are either ELTs, VPs, directors… you name it because the treatment will be the same.
Cons
The "con" really depends on who you are. If you like to blend into the background and just do your hours without much pressure, you'll struggle here because ownership and accountability are genuinely expected, not just buzzwords. The flip side of moving fast and staying innovative is that tech debt is real and the work never fully stops.
