Business outlook
Pros
Extremely well managed company. Great focus on work/life balance. Great tooling. Good benefits overall. Engineering culture is super collaborative (get your pull request read within minutes of submitting). Great apprentice program. I learned a ton while I was there and keep those lessons with me.
Cons
It's a consultancy so how much you enjoy your work can heavily depend on what project you're on. If you get stuck on a touch client for a while, you can get worn out. thoughtbot is acutely aware of it and tries to keep everyone on strict rotations, but it is still something that can happen. Also total compensation is less than working at a product company where you are given base salary and stock as part of the package.
