Pros

Amazing team. Management really easy to work with. Small, easy to have large impact. Compensation, perks, benefits, etc are hard to beat. Never asked to work overtime or on weekends.

Cons

Hard to iterate around clients wants/needs, legacy codebase. Sometimes workload can seem a little daunting (small team, large problem domain). Lots of technical debt.

Pros

I've been with Wiredrive for a little over 6 years and I've seen the company grow from a small late stage startup to an established SaaS business. The development team has been my home and they are fantastic to work with. The company focuses on hiring great people who know their trade and hunger for more. Not only has the team grown but the management as well. The dev team leaders are always trying to make things better for not just the company but for individuals as well. The projects are challenging and purposeful. They usually start with 'how can we improve X and what new, stable technology will fulfill that?'. Even though new technology is investigated, it's not always used. If the tool doesn't fit, the company doesn't try to force into place just jump onto the bandwagon. Everything has to be cohesive and that approach makes maintenance much easier. The company has recently gone through a re-organization of the leadership team and it really shows that the CEO is committed to making the company stronger. Transitioning from a small company to something established takes work and planning. The re-org has already shown to be beneficial to the direction of the company. You will not need to worry that the drivers are not steering it into multiple directions.

Cons

Every company has it's benefits and downsides. Wiredrive is not without its faults. The transition from small to medium will have its growing pains as divisions and individuals try to define what their roles are supposed to be. This primarily affects managers and not the teams themselves. Teams, however, do need to be patient while the managers situate themselves. This isn't a con as much as a disclaimer. While the work is challenging, not everything will be easy. There will be dev projects that are hard, complicated, difficult, etc. The Wiredrive application is not some simple consumer product. It is a B2B application that needs to service a demanding industry. Not every feature will be fun and exciting. Not every upgrade will be cool and shiny. It will be Work. If you want somewhere easy where you can check out, you won't like it here. If you want something that makes you better as an Engineer, you will like it here.

Pros

Great people, great commission structure, expanding rapidly, wonderful culture, great benefits. Truly cannot find one that I wouldn't put on this list. Haven't enjoyed any of my previous companies / work environments as much as I do here.

Cons

Grew so quickly that we are outgrowing our office space. But we are moving in May so it's just a temporary issue.
