Pros

No time tracking required (at least sometimes), no strict work hours, some freedom, ability to choose technology and project, most likely your won't be fired for mistakes and absence of knowledges.

Cons

All managers are friends of boss (no need to know something to become a manager actually). They are allowed to do anything. Management often lie and does not keep promises. Too many meetings about nothing. Methodologies, processes change too often. Something gets started but never gets completed. No company goal or strategy. No rules or responsibilities. No reaction on initiative. Management is always pushing employees without asking about reasons of slow down. And so on...

Pros

Big team, a lot of unnecessary meeting while on part-time

Cons

May refuse to pay unilaterally. They just scheduled a meeting with 3 people to announce they won't pay for about a week of my time I spent on their projects.

Pros

Working at Softjourn became a ticket to a new life for me! Very pleasant staff and management, that is always ready to help in completely different issues. The company itself creates a feeling like it's a big and friendly family which is always comfortable and fun to work with. The company values ​​employees very much and understands all the personal circumstances/issues. Very comfortable and attractive office in the downtown. Continuous office improvement - creates all conditions for productive work, you feel like home here. The company strongly supports the professional growth of employees - internal weekly leadership school(knowledge sharing) and conferences attending. A transparent system of career path and all processes gives a sense of stability and reliability. This also shows the number of people working here for 5 years or more. The high level of corporate culture helps to feel and understand your importance and value. High level of organization and corporate events, trips and events. The company implemented a charitable crowdfunding system "SJ-Foundation", which is based on Blockchain technology using smart contracts. Coin are given to employees every month, which they can spend for the projects that are published in the system, and may also offer their own projects. For example to help animals or office plants project. The company supports the «gogreen» approach - paper cups, wooden sticks for coffee, paper plates, garbage sorting, collection and transmission batteries in the appropriate collection points, water saving devices, the ability to keep the bike in the office, etc. - Despite all this, you feel honest pride for the company you work in!) Indeed - Softjourn a company with which you do not want to go :)

Cons

For the past year I saw no cons here :)
