Pros

- The best most supportive group of people I have ever worked with - Incredibly passionate and supportive founder. Willing to work with you to make sure you are as comfortable and happy as possible at work - New projects every few months, keeps everything fresh and interesting - Interesting projects to work on

Cons

- Typical growing pains. Still sorting out internal systems but they are being worked on - A little disorganised over all. Again, this has been improving - Stressful at times. Hard to keep work from spilling out of normal business hours

Pros

The entire team is great to work with! Everyone is always willing to help, and also especially willing to learn. We always come across roadblocks in what we are working on but together we always find solutions for these challenges. The emphasis on work-life balance is also always apparent!

Cons

Have not experienced any so far!

Pros

- Great culture and friendly environment. - Interesting and challenging projects. - Developers are able to work on several projects at the same time, and expand their skill sets in various ways. - Great benefit packages. - Founder is very friendly and really cares about his employees, and he always gives the most up-to-date company status to his employees. - Company gathering once in a while which helps establishing team rapport. - Great place for someone who just started their career in technology.

Cons

- Team environment is great overall except for the influence of one individual in the upper management. This person has no leadership skills and talks very harshly when you ask "stupid" questions. Managers are supposed help their team grow instead of criticizing the team members for their mistakes and questions they ask. With the real work experience this person had in the tech industry, he could only have had an intermediate title at most, but with the connection he has with the founder, he's able to become a member in the upper management team. Very often, you feel intimidated to ask questions or even come to work. - Messy git repositories. Very hard to find the resources sometimes. - Lack of project ownership (There could be two project managers for one project, not even common for large corporations) - Processes can be improved but it's a very common among small companies.

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences. Glad to know that you enjoy working on the client projects at Satel and that you have fun with those you work with. And you're absolutely right, managers should foster the growth of their team not discourage them. Just as we encourage our developers to grow their coding skills we expect the management team to grow their leadership skills.
