Pros

The Auckland office is marvel of engineering. It is light and spacious. Custom made furniture using the finest Finnish birch plywood on an victorian ash frame creates the feeling of luxury, yet it is understated. Our development team is world class, we have invested heavily in dev-ops, continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). We use a modern stack that allows developers to be really productive. Some of the more fun things in the business: - Monday coffee and cake 'sit down' - Weekly Yoga - Friday BBQ - Rocket Espresso Machine - Fridge with food for everyone - Fantastic choice of lunchtime locations along Ponsonby rd. - Office dog

Cons

Parking is limited, first in first served, so if you drive you might not get a park.

Pros

I started here recently, and have been overwhelmed by the positive and friendly reception I've received from the team. So far my experience has been incredibly wonderful, with an emphasis on collaboration and an overall drive to grow and move quickly. Benefits are uniquely amazing, including Nice Days and a yearly Work From Anywhere stipend. We are positioned to add a ton of positions this year, so growth potential is limitless~ I'm really excited for the future.

Cons

Since we're still in startup mode, we're still figuring things out. There aren't uniform processes set in place for everything yet, so if you struggle with a bit of ambiguity this might not be the right fit for you. However, if you love to figure things out, build processes and work together to discover best practices, this would be a great fit!
