Trellon Reviews

* You have the opportunity to work on projects for some amazing, well-known clients. With the focus on non-profits/NGOs and higher-ed clients, you get to work with organizations that are trying to make a positive difference. * There are numerous opportunities to learn new things if you're willing. * The company sponsors multiple DrupalCons and other events every year. All employees are invited to attend DrupalCons at the company's expense. * Since Trellon is a virtual company, you have some flexibility in when and where you work, as long as your schedule remains somewhat consistent and you get your work done. * Competent PMs that understand the basics but also know their limits. The project managers are good at what they do and understand enough that they can answer some simple questions from clients on their own but they aren't afraid to loop a developer into a conversation and let them respond if needed. * Individual employees are recognized and appreciated. They aren't just treated like nameless, faceless cogs in a machine that can easily be swapped out for another. * CEO is very hands-on. He's not the type that just sits back collecting a paycheck and attending chamber of commerce meetings. He's also willing to step in when a project looks it's having problems and help correct the course to get things back on track. Unfortunately, some people who have posted reviews on this site seem to be offended by this and view it as overreaching.

This is one of the best places I have ever worked. The team is very smart, most of the people I work with are problem solvers and it's not hard to get answers to questions because that's what they do. Everyone is focused on making things happen, so things happen quickly and I find that exciting. You learn new things. I have gone from backend development to front end development to light project management to leading sprints and back to each of those roles. It's nice not being stuck in the same position and knowing I can talk to a PM to take over on something I find want to learn. Besides the on-the-job learning, you get to go to Drupalcon at least once a year (sometimes more.) Everyone seems to know who Trellon is and that our team is smart and has been around a long time. You get to go to other events as well, and management supports things going on all over the world. You work with awesome clients. They mostly are non-profits who are doing good in the world and you get to think about really awesome issues. Most of the people I work with care about open source as well and understand things like sprints, technical debt, repositories, deployments, etc. I don't spend a lot of time educating them on the fundamentals of what we do.
