Pros

Flexible hours Central location Colleagues are nice

Cons

The cons i'm about to name as from a developer POV. As a BA or working in QA, the company is pretty decent. Development management has 0 technical background. This results in completely unrealistic expectations and deadlines. You cannot manage problems you don't even remotely understand. Speed and numbers are the only things that matter to development management, which encourages quick hacky solutions. Speaking up about any of this is looked down upon by development management. They claim to have an open culture where you can speak up, but when you speak up about a problem, you're viewed as a troublemaker instead. No gratitude is being shown, regardless of your effort. Didn't hear a single thank you, in over a year of working there. Some people haven't had super for over 8 months. Pay tends to be very irregular. Devs are underpaid in comparison to industry standards. Very high turn-over, because management doesn't know how to work with new developers, having unrealistic expectations and in turn getting quickly frustrated with them. Management thinks it's the product. It's not, it's management.

Pros

Fast paced environment Good, honest, supportive and talented colleagues Opportunities across various projects which some people switch between, majority stay focused in certain departments/products.

Cons

Staying with a project/feature through to completion can lead to some long days although fairly typical for IT and growing companies. Direct communication is encouraged, which some people struggle with while others thrive.

Pros

The people seem like they wanna get it right on the surface but dig deeper.

Cons

There were a lot of gaps in how the management would deal with bugs and major issues. Certain people were placed in management positions who had no emotional intelligence or ability to provide constructive feedback making it hard to be successful in the position. There were some processes that were a bit antiquated for the industry and there could be smarter ways to manage projects and people.
