Pros

The team is great and very welcoming and I can see the impact my work creates on our customer base on a daily basis.

Cons

Prioritising our backlog and moving forward all the different priorities (day-to-day vs long term stuff) is very challenging but I can see how we are getting better at it over time.

Pros

I truly enjoyed my time at YouCanBookMe. The team was fantastic. It sometimes felt like hanging with good friends who support each other and help each other grow. Work-life balance was encouraged, there was flexibility and I highly appreciated that. The company offered a great salary, benefits, yearly trips, and even profit share. The CEO cared about the team's well-being, growth opportunities, and their success in the role. I decided to walk away to take a bet on myself, but I'll always be a fan of YouCanBookMe!

Cons

When I started, there were moments when it wasn't super clear where we heading or how the teams would align on the goals. But this is something that was discussed and we implemented a way to keep teams aligned and focused.

Pros

Sounds a bit cheesy but honestly the biggest pro is the team. Very friendly people and super easy to work with across all departments. Always a great deal of respect between everyone even when disagreeing on how to go about something. Nobody is going to be bugging you day-to-day asking you to randomly do this and that and messaging you to check if you're actually working. People are trusted to be self-motivated and go about their work in whatever way is more productive to them. Public salaries internally alongside transparent and frequent finance updates. Clear salary/bonus progression system that rewards loyalty and performance inside the company. Occasional company/department wide get togethers in varying locations are a great way to bond and have fun together while still being able to get some brainstorming done over major topics. (Did I mention the amazing food??)

Cons

Cons in my day-to-day experience are mostly: - Some great ideas get shelved for a long time due to a simple lack of man power as everyone is often already busy tackling something else. - Even though it's a lot better since I joined over a year ago, and we are actively trying to modernize the entire code base, there's still a huge amount of legacy code left running in production with very inconsistent architectural decisions, poor documentation and lackluster testing. That naturally leads to weird bugs and makes some features a pain to develop. If what you're looking for is mainly a state-of-the-art code base to work on, we will get there eventually, but at the time of writing this review it would be a poor fit for you.

Thank you so much for your thoughts here - nothing is too cheesy! We have definitely put a huge amount of work into finding and hiring the right team to help build and scale our product and I'm glad to hear that things are working well for you. I completely take your point about the tech stack - the core product is over 10 years old. Because we are funded by customers, for a long time we only had a handful of engineers able to work on refactoring and supporting the code base. We are so happy we now have an incredible team in place who are working so well in tackling all the topics and still adding new things to what we are offering to customers all the time. Thank you for being a part of it! | Bridget @ ycbm.com
