Pros

You will learn a lot about micromanagement, legacy code, bad practices, the absolute worst architectural decisions, reinventing the square wheel, and how NOT to develop software in general. Apply for the job only if you want an immediate, long-lasting career stall.

Cons

Realizing you could have dodged the bullet, but instead chose to ignore all those red flags because the salary seemed pretty good at the time. It's not worth it. Not in a million years.

Bridget here from YCBM. Whilst clearly hard for me to read, I do appreciate the feedback on your experience and certainly take it very seriously. I genuinely only have the very best wishes for those who have moved on from YCBM in the last few years. Like all SaaS companies, we've had our fair share of challenging technical decisions to tackle - I certainly wouldn't claim we've got every one of those decisions right! But what I can say is that we've always worked incredibly hard to do the right things and to learn whenever there might be a better way. This is how we've evolved as a company, got better at what we do and have the team, structure and processes in place that we're incredibly proud of today. Clearly in this case, things didn't work out and I'm very sorry for that. Finally, anyone reading this who'd like to have a chat with me or any of our current team, don't hesitate to get in touch. people@youcanbook.me

Pros

The company is intentionally small which means everyone knows each other and can hold each other accountable for the outcomes we expect to achieve. The work doesn't feel like work. It is doing what needs to get done to service the Customer every day, with a REAL smile, and an overall joy to be a part of something so incredibly special.

Cons

I'd love to see more company wide virtual get togethers. This can be a challenge with us being an international group but definitely worth it!

Pros

Dedicated employees around the world building something great. Amazing benefits, unlimited time off, company retreats to exotic locations.

Cons

Hard to find cons. Small team so feature releases can take some time, but that will change with growing the team.
