Startup Culture, Established Compensation
- Strong ownership of your work
- Culture of pairing, testing and code review
- Benefits include health, dental, eye, good office equipment, and catered lunches
- Extremely open about goals and achievement of company
- Short time to deployment where small changes might go up in as little as 15 minutes, you just wait for tests to pass and for code to be reviewed
- Weekly "FUD" (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) where anyone can safely bring up public concerns
- Diverse engineering team in terms of age, education, gender, and background
- Lack of strong mentorship for junior developers
- Things move very fast, more technical debt than we would like
