Pros

The work is interesting and makes good use of a modern tech stack – including infrastructure as code, CI/CD, AI tools, backend, frontend, and mobile development. The culture is supportive, people are friendly and open to feedback, and the flexible hybrid setup makes for a great work-life balance.

Cons

Things run smoothly overall, but there’s plenty of work to do and only so much that fits into each sprint, managing tech debt, infrastructure, or making time for learning.

Pros

- Amazing engineering team where you will always feel supported, get to work on a variety of interesting tasks. Always feel like a team rather than competing with others. - Don't feel like a cog in the wheel, my work I do and my voice is valued - Great company culture - Good pay & perks

Cons

The Auckland office is moving away from a flexible remote working situation, at least one day a week in the office is required now.

Hi there, Thanks so much for your thoughtful review — we're thrilled to hear how supported you feel by your teammates and how much you value the culture, variety of work, and sense of contribution at AskNicely. That’s exactly the environment we aim to create. We also want to acknowledge your comment about our hybrid working approach. While we’ve never operated as a remote-first company, we remain fully committed to a flexible hybrid model that balances autonomy with in-person connection. Requiring one day a week in the Auckland office is intended to support collaboration, culture, and team alignment — and we believe it's a very flexible setup compared to many other companies in our industry. We appreciate you sharing this perspective, and we’ll continue to listen and evolve as our team and work environment grows. Thanks again for your feedback!
