You'll get to learn more on recent and mature stack. Everyone helping each other to solve problems. The work culture is fantastic. Work from home on monday is very appreciated.
Some days are very busy, needed to sometime stay until night to finish the project. Not for the fainted heart.
- Great working environment - Friendly, collaborative, and helpful team - Very open to suggestions and constantly striving to be the best - Remote working mode - Able to learn a lot while working here
- Benefits on the lesser side, but definitely not an issue - Might feel the lack of man power when there are lots of projects running concurrently
Working here has been a valuable experience for my personal and professional development. I have gained extensive knowledge and skills in web and mobile development workflows, contributing significantly to my technical expertise. The positive work environment has fostered a supportive and collaborative atmosphere, enhancing my overall work experience. Additionally, the option for an optional working day on Mondays, if there's no work, provides a good work-life balance.
However, there are some challenges in working here. Projects often require a high level of independence, especially when working with new tech stacks, which can be demanding. Additionally, there are instances where working extra hours is necessary to meet project deadlines, which can affect work-life balance.
Working here has been great, in terms of gaining experience, especially for fresh grads. Management has always been supportive, giving guidance and supporting materials (online courses etc.) if we can't catch up. Work life balance has always been an emphasis in the company, we work on flexi hours, hardly any OTs, and have what we call 'optional Mondays' which stems from an old policy of taking a random day off every few months for mental health without deducting any leave. As the name implies, we can take Mondays off IF we are in no rush of deadlines without deducting any leave. If you're concerned about if we ever get to take it, I have been consistently taking at least 1 - 2 mondays off every month. The company is a startup, so we do not have many employees, but we have employees of different races, mostly dudes, but we have had female employees in the past who have left. Everyone is treated equally from everyone as far as I'm concerned and the management has been very friendly and open. Working here has also been very eye opening, since we are given lots of opportunities to try and do different things (sometimes due to lack of manpower, so you have to do it yourself) but mostly for improving ourselves and expand our stack.
If you don't already know, working in a startup requires you to wear many hats since we are always looking for more manpower. If the timeline or the schedule of a project is not properly defined, or if the project is not managed efficiently, the timeline will be tight, and you will feel it. One other thing you might be concerned about is the salary, I would say we are slightly below average in terms of salary, since this is a startup and most of our employees are in their first or second job. As one of my friends said:"No one joins a startup to earn big bucks, they join to get things done". This is true in this company, if you compare the salaries, I don't think we are being paid that well, but one thing I can say for sure is we have good working culture, good management, and also good career opportunities/progression.
1. Management is super friendly. They will listen to you and your ideas. They will help you even if they don't know about those things. 2. They will fix the problem with you instead of blaming you for making a mistake. 3. Respond to any request (department improvement etc) is positive. 4. Culture is very chill. 5. The team will work together and will not let anyone be left behind. 6. Hierarchy is very flat. Worked there long enough to call the CEO & CTO friends instead of bosses. XD 7. Code review is very strict to make sure the team uses the best practices.
1. Food around there is expensive but the team will usually carpool to go for cheaper options. 2. Startup is mostly a place to get things done and slowly build up therefore never expect it will be strictly structured.
