Pros

Overall, I enjoy working on a tightly knit cross functional team. I'm having technical conversations with native android, flutter, react and react native developers every day, and this gives me a broader understanding of mobile development beyond native iOS. I work very closely with our clients and take on a lot of ownership of work. As a result, I'm having conversations about the technical design of a new feature on some days and conversations about mobile ads and analytics on another. This comes with its own set of challenges, but makes my job that much more interesting. The team enjoys flexible work hours, and I think it's important to build a team that is able to remain effective regardless of physical distance.

Cons

On a small team that handles a variety of projects, you'll have to wear many hats. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but may not be for everyone. You'll find yourself in situations where there isn't another person that you can ask for a solution - you have to figure a lot of things out yourself. This helps build good qualities as an engineer, but is quite daunting at times especially when you want to put out quality work.

Pros

Some good coworkers, got to learn a lot here! Pay on time, though salaries were nothing special.

Cons

Project assignments and mentorship fell along racial lines: people of color were consistently handed the most hidden, highest‑risk tasks with razor‑thin deadlines, while white staff received the new‑feature work and customer‑facing projects. Performance reviews felt biased and opaque - POC who produced results were always passed over for promotions in favor of less productive colleagues who matched the preferred profile. I was directly told to discard resumes with ethnic‑sounding names and to prioritize “the culture fit,” a thinly veiled excuse for excluding diverse applicants. Meetings frequently included casual racist remarks and negative assumptions about competence. The informal networks that drive advancement were closed to anyone outside the "inner circle". I left because I could not have a future at a company where discriminatory policies were treated as normal.
