Pros
  • Latest MacBook Pro M2
  • Snack bar with a selection of fruits, yoghurts, musues, chocolate, and healthy/unhealthy snacks, refilled regularly
  • One doesn't feel as a part of a corporate machine here. At the same time, this is already an established company with defined and transparent processes (unlike most startups)
  • Love communication openness; we know how the company feels and what our goals are. C-level executives are super easily accessible. There is even a Slack channel where anything can be asked anonymously and C-executives answer those. Questions are sometimes really tough in there and the management replies to everything.
  • Cozy office
  • Multisport, RSUs, and other benefits
  • Mondays we have company-wide breakfasts, Wednesdays we have lunches, and on Fridays there is a "friday break" with burgers or tacos or something like that
  • The whole "people" team dedicated to making one's life at Make as easy as possible
  • Super helpful atmosphere; it's easy to get support if something is unclear, from any department
  • Well-structured internal documentation in Confluence
  • Clear and straightforward onboarding process; guidelines are updated regularly, and setting up a dev environment is a breeze. And actually there is a whole DevEx team for that.
  • Company events and parties
  • Almost unlimited home office
  • Really good expertise across the company. There is always someone who is better than you in something, and there is always someone to learn from.
Cons
  • It is not quite clear how promotions work or how salaries are indexed.
  • Developers cannot choose their dev rig, and a Mac is a must for all.
  • Home office is formally unlimited, but it depends on your team, and management informally prefers people to be there, although they never actually push for it.
Advice to Management

It would be nice to have a budget for developers, so that they could themselves upgrade their dev environment (or at least buy third-party tools they like). I'd really love to convert some of the office space into a gym. But maybe I am asking too much :)
