An exceptional work environment
An exceptional work environment
- Enabling makers to find niche markets
- Extremely people-oriented culture
- Fantastic work/life balance
- Highly competitive pay
- Engineers have a lot of influence on the direction of work
- Leadership is very approachable
- Coordination problems can lead to churn and slow progress.
- Tech stack can feel a bit bloated/dated.
- A lot of homemade systems are a hassle to maintain.

From an employee experience standpoint, please just keep doing what you're doing. I love this job.
