First month at Faire

Director of Software Development • Current Employee

Pros: Faire has a structured onboarding process that gives new employees a good foundation of the company. For engineers, there is additional training, guiding new employees through the software development process. Faire is a very transparent company, and leadership is very accessible. Overall, onboarding was smooth, and I feel welcomed as a new employee.

Cons: The negatives are pretty minimal, and I don't think they are unique to Faire. There is a lot of information to absorb, and they use internal terminology and acronyms as if they are well understood by a new employee. The company is not used to onboarding new employees at the senior management level, and there were gaps in the training I received and tooling I had access to as a result.

Pros: Really clean codebase. I had the best intern mentor here out of all my internships, who re-defined what a good engineer is and supported me career-wise all throughout. Love the company culture; DJ in all-hands has great music tastes.

Cons: It is a fast-paced place. Lots of meetings, but many are really fun.
