A Good Place to Work
Software Engineer Intern • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
July 23, 2020
Pros: Quite a nice place to work! People are generally friendly and pretty smart. The tech stack is more modern than I thought it would be, given that the company was founded around the mid-2000s. I particularly approve of the top management, in particular the founders, for giving the company an overall good culture.
Cons: Pretty siloed as a software engineer. Not much interaction with other parts of the company outside your immediate team.
No free food, although in NYC this isn't as much of a problem. Also, as an intern I definitely felt like I was given an "intern project" as opposed to being treated as a part of the team, especially when compared to other companies I've worked at.
