Work that I look forward to every day
Forward Deployed Software Engineer • Current Employee
Washington, District of Columbia, United States
November 5, 2014
Pros: The people are great, friendly, and very intelligent.
Interesting work that can have a real impact.
Awesome travel opportunities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Washington D.C., London, Sydney, and the UAE, plus more.
The schedule is up to you. Come in and leave whenever, as long as the work is getting done.
Cons: There is a fair amount of technical grunt work to be done, and if you're not careful, you'll end up on boring projects. You can avoid this by proving yourself valuable in other areas.
It's hard to stand out amongst peers when everyone is so talented.
There's no clear path to advancement internally. They're working on this.
Work/life balance varies across teams. Some people are overworked (not me...).
