Pluspunten

Well polished agile framework that provides a great structure for team based success. Individuals are empowered and surrounded by a good group of people that work to support each other. Business and Tech sides work together towards common goals and understand they both need each other to create wins. A healthy back and forth and adherence to good structure help stave off unrealistic asks and also produce good progress in a calculated direction. Lots of transparency and a healthy culture of not pointing fingers, learning together, and honest feedback all in the name of moving the group and the technology forward. Leadership has emphasized taking care of yourself during these weird times and to take time off. Uncapped/Unlimited PTO is a nice perk, and management never seems to mind when you need to use it. When we were in the office, a sense of community was ubiquitous among people even across teams that would otherwise not interact due to regular company events and townhalls that kept everyone in sync. Wednesday lunches are sorely missed in COVID-times, as are many a cookout and/or organized event commemorating achievement/growth/milestones. Yearly Hackathon is highly touted and celebrated. Great way to get cross-pollination of teams and ideas into the platform and helps cultivate a good company culture.

Minpunten

Before the pandemic, there was little to no work from home policy and the office's location made commuting not great, but now have pivoted to 100% remote for the time being. Unlimited/uncapped PTO is nice but at the same time can feel weird since the only guidance is "don't abuse it", and there is constant encouragement now to take time off but the feeling of guilt still lingers. Might just be my personal preference but the grey area seems to make it appear that people actually take less PTO than if they would have had actual allocated days. Perception is reality here, hopefully things can get back to normal after a return to the office. Commonplace doublespeak about having a good work-life balance and taking time off while the best of the best and highly regarded contributors are those who are working consistently long hours(even during PTO/Mat/Pat leave). You can't have both. This seems to have become more apparent as now working from home is the norm and there is seemingly less boundary between home life and work life. This might not be unique to this company as this is an unprecedented time.

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. I too miss the sense of community and camaraderie when we were all in the office. That being said, I've been extremely impressed with how our team has rallied around each other while working from home, supported each other and continued to remain productive. Flexible PTO is certainly not intended to make anyone feel guilty about taking time off, but I understand where you are coming from. It's something I've tried to convey over the last five months as we've all been virtual. We all need to take time off and be deliberate about stepping away. Please do not feel guilty about taking hard-earned time off to rest and recharge. Just because we are working from home doesn't mean we shouldn't have boundaries between our work and personal lives. Set working hours for yourself, block off your lunch time and take breaks throughout the day. It's easy to get burnt out without having boundaries like this. That's especially true now that schools are back and parents are juggling virtual learning, caring for families and working. We are trying creative ways to carry our culture over into a remote environment. It's been great to see people across the organization stepping up to help out. You mentioned the hackathon. It's one of my favorite weeks of the year, and I can't wait to see the amazing hacks the team comes up with this year. Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback. - Gene

Pluspunten

nice office space, private gym for employees, mostly good culture that allows for bleeding edge tech and pushes big ideas and ownership as part of the culture. Lots of promoting from within occurs.

Minpunten

There has been a lot of turn over in recent years as leadership changed hands. There is a lot more red tape than there used to be on the technology side. Salary wont stay competitive with new hires coming in. Expect people several years your junior to make more than you, you will get a song and dance about how they can't fix that problem without a promotion. Even though you are likely already doing the job the promotion would require.
