Pluspunten
Geckoboard is now the benchmark by which I will judge other companies, because it is such a great place to work. Geckoboard is full of smart, friendly people and everybody cares passionately about creating a product customers will love. As a junior developer here I was given a lot of help and support to develop my skills, and I felt like my input was really valued and made a difference to the product, as the team culture is very open and transparent. Additionally, the perks are really great. The whole company operates on the understanding that people have lives outside of work. Working hours are extremely flexible and they are always happy for people to work remotely for extended periods. The free Friday lunches were always lots of fun, and I really miss the unlimited holiday allowance!
Minpunten
The office was getting a bit small for the team by the time I left. Nature of the app meant software development was heavily focused on front end work (not a con for everyone, but I was more interested in the back end development)
