Good place to work, tough to advance - Engineer BNOTIONS Employee Review

- An environment where everyone is playful and chill while also working really hard and trying to excel at their jobs - A place where people find common interests and very easily might choose to spend their Friday evenings bonding over them. - Very willing to provide lunch&learns, classes, etc... on engineering topics, new languages (like Mandarin), or other life improvement skills. - HR/Exec always has its year to the ground re: employee life. Company is always adjusting to make life easier, or to give employees things like more quiet space, standup desks, other perks. - Exec team is approachable, charming, and tries to set the tone of how hard-working and how casual we should be. - A group of diverse people! Older people, younger people, outgoing people, quieter people, not afraid of sticking out or people being cliquey/hostile.

- Office is open and gets noisy very easily. - Exec team encourages job flexibility and is not afraid to make mini-pivots when they feel it would best help the company, so don't feel too comfortable in your org structure and be interested in occasional changes to the kinds of things you work on. - Internal policies aren't always formalized and change somewhat often; keep checking the Intranet, but also don't be afraid to ask HR about how something internal should be done. - Dev Ops team is a bit overloaded at the moment, and the nature of the business involves juggling many projects.

This job never sits at a stand still. Constant motion towards improvement and progress makes for a great place of work. In the last year I've seen some great initiatives for employee health and happiness implemented. Things such as an open vacation policy, hot lunches, stand up desks, extended health benefits have all increased job satisfaction and work life balance. Its an enjoyable place to work, not only for the day to day functions, but also for the company culture events and outings like baseball games, summer patio parties, halloween celebrations, dragon boating, and company workation. There are so many great things about this job that make working here seem like the opposite of work. However we do work hard to make it all happen and to keep the wheels turning. The work is exciting and the team of people working together on projects works with great drive, communication and camaraderie. It's an environment that is fast paced, motivated and innovative in its approach. Opportunities for growth are also highly encouraged and supported. It's a team invested in their work, reciprocating the energy back into the business that takes care of them so well. This team is a family, that anyone would be lucky to be a part of.

If I would choose something to improve on, I'd suggest the benefits package to be entirely covered by the employer.
