Long Ways to Go - Anonymous employee SmartFile Employee Review

Lots of opportunity for growth. Great coworkers and environment to be a part of. Office location is wonderful and centralized for activities.

As a company in the growth phase, lots of process and procedures are being worked out and put in place.

First off, the culture. Unlike any corporate job out there, SmartFile seeks to have not only have happy customers, but also happy employees. They also provide some great amenities such as ping pong, a nice break room, basketball on Fridays, standing desks, and all around enthusiastic people. Being a software engineer here, I figure I should review the stack as well. The backend is mostly Python(Django) with a Go-Lang script here and there. The front-end consists of mostly javascript with the backbone.js library. They are currently in the process of moving to a microservices architecture from a monolithic application which is a pretty big undertaking considering a number of features provided. Their take on agile is a bit unorthodox, but after a month or so it starts to feel pretty good, especially compared to other semi-agile companies around the area.

Being, in the Stutz building, they just can't get the entire office to the same temp.
