Pros
* Great people : solid developers, drive to improve quality of work, smart and fun to work with * Location : I live in Brooklyn so Dumbo is an easy bike commute. Actually a large % of people bikes/walks/jogs to work. * Making a difference in education, however small. Very different feeling than working for a financial company for example. There is a lot of focus on education on day to day too, everyone has opportunity to learn through series of brown bags about current trends and struggles in education, common core, etc.. * Lots of different technologies we get to play with on daily basis, not just across teams but within various teams too * movement towards vertical self sufficient teams * great work life balance. Flexible hours, ability to WFH when necessary. Much lower stress level than in a lot of other companies. say in managing your own workload
Cons
* the company is different now from where Wireless Generation was years ago in some good and bad ways. Feels like there is more focus on profitability and less on mission. Yet our product set and horizons are expanding rapidly due to access to additional funding * There is a lot of inertia within the company and resistance to change, hence improvements are slow and incremental
