Transparent Company with Strong Engineering Culture

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Extremely transparent company with solid ethics - Amazing co-workers that encourage collaboration and innovation whenever possible - Fairly solid benefits (slightly less than other tech companies, but overall mostly comparable) - Fosters strong work / life balance - Remote friendly - New office for those who want to use it is amazing - Strong engineering culture with bi-annual hackathons that almost always has projects that end up in production and / or drive new product decisions

Cons

- Benefits could be slightly better (better 401k match, sabbaticals, bringing back 2 company holidays a month, more logical geo-tiers for pay) - Although becoming less of a problem, lots of resources spent on legacy tech debt - For a while innovation seemed stagnant, but with new fishbowl initiatives (among other things), we seem to be moving in the right direction.

Glassdoor Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Glassdoor. We're very proud of maintaining our strong engineering culture, and our great people are the lifeblood of our company. I hear your points on the legacy tech - we are working on eliminating as much as possible, as soon as possible! I appreciate your comments on our priorities, and you can rest assured that it is top of mind for us. - Shane O'Grady, VP of Engineering

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company, flexibility, endless opportunities to network.

Cons

Toxic work culture, had to deal with microaggressions from team lead, lack of cultural understanding from team lead & why some people from Asian countries might not speak up which would make people feel uncomfortable.
