Great People, Innovative Work - Software Engineer Thismoment Employee Review

This has been an experience of a lifetime for me. Thismoment has been a place where I have gotten a chance to work alongside amazingly brilliant, dedicated and fun people that I consider life long friends. I have learned so many new skills and have gotten challenged to grow and learn every day. I have learned 5 years worth of new technologies, product management, digital marketing and cross-team collaboration skills in a span of each year of working here so...that's almost 25 years worth? Well, it seems that way sometimes! Time has flown by and it's definitely been fun in the process!

As with any start-up, there is an element of uncertainty as we turn corners with our product but that's just the name of the game. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen! ;)

Getting to work with talented and hard working people is probably the biggest perk this company has to offer. This is very unique in a start-up world which is filled with 20-somethings trying to figure it out. The management team is experienced in building a business and this level of maturity shows throughout daily operations. That's not to say that they are boring. There is plenty of fun to be had here, but when it comes to leadership and learning opportunities there are plenty. The CEO has an inspiring vision for content management systems. He is leading the company to transform itself into a platform business and a successful execution would guarantee great returns for both employees and investors. I feel that this is a very exciting time to be here with lots of opportunities to have a positive impact. Location - you cannot beat the downtown location and a beautiful office space. PTO - 4 weeks of PTO plus winter shut-down week are my favorite perks at Thismoment. You may work at a company that does unlimited vacation days, but I bet you wouldn't take 5 weeks off in a given year.

Uncertainty. This is a start-up and can be a choppy ride. No different from other young companies in the Bay Area, but the risk is still there. Things are not presented to you fully baked, so you need to figure it out on your own and ability to deal with ambiguity is a #1 requirement to work here.
