Great Company That Encourages Growth and Tries to Avoid Burnout
Great Company That Encourages Growth and Tries to Avoid Burnout
Growth is encouraged.
Managers are more like coaches than referees.
Weekly time is encouraged for professional development outside of normal work.
Great perks and room for leveling up.
Positive working environment, and I am still in a positive feedback loop.
Vacations/using PTO is very much encouraged. Many teams completely disappear for 3 weeks around Christmas.
Pay has not been as competitive as some larger companies, but that sounds like it is changing soon.
Health insurance for families is only 50% covered versus 90% for the employee. So, people with a family have to pay quite a bit out of pocket.
As anywhere, there is a ceiling on how far you can typically level up. This has increased, but we do not see many at Level 5.
There is a cap on PTO that is not clear.
Sometimes US leftist politics seem to be encouraged but are not required.
Keep on encouraging coaching instead of refereeing. Be willing to let people level up to Level 5 to avoid losing good talent.
Also, keep up the great environment and fun perks like snacks and hackathons. These create a much friendlier workplace and make me want to stick around all the more.

Smooth. It was a series of interviews, I think six interviews. You don't get to do the next if you don't pass the former, hence no time wasted doing multiple interviews and not passing eventually. The interviewers and recruiters are quite friendly.
