Pros

Great team with exceptional colleagues who are a pleasure to work with. Very friendly atmosphere. We do a lot of things together outside of work. Going out for dinner, the movies or doing sports together. think-cell is very family friendly. They have always been super accommodating and flexible when I needed to change my working hours due to my partner's work and our growing family. The product is super successful and very well liked among our clients, which feels great. That results in an extremely competitive salary and very attractive working hours. Work at think-cell is challenging in a good way. Standards are high and so is our software quality, but we always get the time we need to do things the right way. We work mostly independently on many different kinds of problems. There is no code ownership in the traditional sense and you can expect to work on very different kinds of problems and on different parts of the product. Everyone is responsible for the entire product and all suggestions for improvement are welcome and will be listened to.

Cons

think-cell is not a good fit if you are not sufficiently self-organised to work on problems that are so large that you have to split them into manageable pieces. think-cell is a great place to learn but new employees have to be very good in problem solving and structured, logical thinking already. It is not a place where you can grow into the role of a Software engineer.

Pros

Think-cell has a great onboarding process that really guarantees you know the product. The team is helpful and supportive, with many opportunities to connect with coworkers in other offices. I believe that this is a company that will be easy to grow with and they are always open to hearing new ideas. Being in office is productive and the Denver office specifically is in a great location with free parking available, as well as monthly happy hours and team events. Alex, our CEO, visits regularly so there are many opportunities to connect with him and hear from the C-suite.

Cons

I think that think-cell has great offerings. On the benefits side of thing, I do think that eventually having the 100% employer paid health care would be nice, as well as maybe a wellness stipend or discount for local gyms.
