Hopper Senior Software Developer reviews

Hopper seems really committed to the unlimited time off policy. Extra holidays are announced often - Truth & Reconciliation Day and Remembrance Day suddenly appeared as holidays this year. Everyone who works at Hopper seems really smart. Business leaders are really on top of their stuff and understand both the technology space and the business space. Everyone here understands that even simple things can have unintended complications when integrating with an established tech ecosystem.

The best part about working at hopper is that they have separate verticals which are more or less smaller start ups within the larger startup. This gives you a lot of freedom, less bureaucracy, and lots to work on. This can be seen as a good or a bad thing. Engineering itself is a mixed bag. Like most startups, there’s a conscious decision to take on technical debt to iterate and build fast. However overall the engineering is not too difficult to deal with and on the whole quite fun to work on. Engineering practices and Test coverage is pretty good. There is an active movement towards cleaning up some of the less nice parts.
