Pros

- Flat hierarchy - Good technical level

Cons

- Terrible management. - You are charged for a boring, repetitive lunch. And although you are the one that pays for it, you get management stubborn punishments like "No more milk for anyone for the next couple months as someone left it outside of the fridge again". - Extensive hours that are not even appreciated. No one will thank you for staying until late, and they will complain if you don't. - Total lack of respect for free time. If you don't answer a non-urgent email on sunday, you will get some shame thrown on monday.

Pros

Code moves to production without delay, so you quickly see the results of your work. The team has people from all kinds of backgrounds, and everyone's happy to review ideas and offer input. You can manage your time and choose your approach to work without unnecessary interference from supervisors. The salary is competitive.

Cons

Decisions are rarely final, so you have to be adaptable.

Pros

- No burnout (the pace is reasonable) - When I clock off, I’m really off (no work stuff follows me home) - People enjoy working together, they're not forced to - I can have honest conversations with managers

Cons

Some of the tools need upgrading.
