Pros
Coming from a larger corporation, I was worried about most cons you read about start-ups prior to joining Trove. Late hours, expected to wear many hats, not enough direction, lack of funding, etc. I haven't experienced any of that at Trove. You are expected to pull your weight, but in a comfortable, meaningful and satisfying way. They want you to do you and be happy while you're doing it. - Incredibly flexible hours and remote work options - Competitive pay - Top of the line Macbooks (if you so choose), sit stand desks - Cutting edge technology stack with plenty of on boarding to get you familiar - All teams practice a modern software development process (weekly sprints, daily stands, retro's) - Paths for career advancement - Beer club on Friday's - Very reasonably priced benefits (medical, dental, vision) - In the process of building an office space with more amenities than I could ever expect.
Cons
- Its not clear when I can expect a performance review - Lack of diversification is a big one - Desks could be larger, feels a little cramped - Building is under constructions (and will be for quite some time it appears) - No 401k - Benefits in general could be better (e.g. no orthodontia for dental insurance) - Snow removal in the alley is non-existent and a safety hazard
