Pros

I always had PLATFORM in my scope, since I knew they are on the top in what they do. Just few weeks ago, I applied for an open position and got a chance to start working here, and I am enjoying the ride so far. 
 - Very positive work environment. Team chemistry just works. Despite the fact we have an option of home office, I prefer coming to the office to work alongside the development team. Regarding tools, I got what I asked for (both hardware + software). - Flexible working time. What is always important is to get the project done on time. The rest is up to you. You are in charge of your time. - Native mobile development. Despite the rising trend of hybrid approach for mobile development, we stick to native development, which is beneficial for both the devs and quality of the final project. - Opportunity to learn. You get to work alongside the best of the best in their field. I work closely with our CTO who is very down to earth and gladly helps all the devs in finding the most effective ways to get the projects done. - Focus on quality. While challenging, the focus on quality is great for both the final product and your personal improvement. I regularly ask for code checks and discuss UX/UI with our designers, which helps with keeping the quality high. - Exciting projects. You get to work on significant projects for large companies from all around the world.

Cons

- Sometimes, the deadlines are just too tight and you have to work longer, splitting your time and focus between multiple projects, which can be a bit frustrating.

Pros

As I start working in this absolutely great company first I did expect just a another office routine, but o boy was I surprised when I met with my great leadership and not mentioned my new working crew. No more morning stress - flexible hours, no more working stress - just finish your job on time. This is really like working FAMILY. A really great place to work and create.

Cons

none at this time, thank you

Pros

- You get to work on exciting projects with cool brands - CEO and COO are very down to earth. They are very hands off and give you a lot of autonomy, but are also available when you need guidance and feedback. They crack jokes and have fun too. They are very transparent and everyone in the company is informed about company goals and plans. - The design team is very close knit. We all sit right next to each other, work together, and often go to lunch together. - We have a lot of fun. We have a drum set and guitar and have jam sessions a lot. We have happy hour at the office every Thursday. - There are opportunities for travel. I was sent to San Francisco for a month to work onsite at a clients office. That was my first time to SF so it was really cool.

Cons

- Sometimes, we have to work until late at night. Most of the time, the workload isn't too heavy, but sometimes, there is a tight deadline or new demands from a client and then we have to complete a lot in a short amount of time. - The CEO can be a bit blunt with feedback. He doesn't sugar coat. He will be honest and straightforward in telling you if the quality of your work design is not good enough. Some people can't handle that.
