Pros

Connexta is a company whose main product is software, not a company that makes software to support a product, which means this is primarily software development. There are lots of technologies to learn and new and upcoming solutions are actively evaluated for integration. Environment is free, collaborative and relaxed, with discussion happening around the office regularly. Developed software is Free and Open Source. Developers are encouraged not only to program, but also to participate in the design and architecture of the software.

Cons

There is a lot of software and moving parts of it to learn and it can be challenging when first coming on the job. On boarding of new hires lacks in some areas, but is under constant improvement. The type of business Connexta is involved in has a lot of acronyms and they fly all over the place in discussions, so that can add to the difficulties of being a new hire.

Pros

A fantastic work environment, provided with the latest hardware to work on and any software that is needed. Very casual and stress free work environment with great coworkers and flat company structure. We get to do a lot of the things we we're hired to do (Software Engineering) and don't have to deal with a lot else. A lot of passionate software engineers (junior to senior) with varied expertise and lots of information to share. Also lots of collaboration happens with those that seek it. A very exciting and fun place to work overall. All the other amenities are there as well, such as: encouraged work/life balance, snacks, drinks( + coffee .. is that even a question?!), 9/80 work schedule, great benefits, and overall flexibility.

Cons

Given the scope of work and sector we work in, it can be difficult to get timely, thorough feedback from customers. If you're not self driven or don't work well without constant guidance you may not do well. (There's no micromanagement, so you need to be proactive )
