Pros

* Amazing people with a breadth of knowledge across a wide gamut of tech * Competitive Wages (for the region) * Some of the best Health benefits around * Remote work * Social events * Rewarding work * On the leading edge with projects and ideas.

Cons

* Variable direction - company is evolving and looking into new challenges, makes it hard to see where the focus is. * Bit of a fascination with the newest and greatest. Not so much on the breadwinner work. * Difficulties in resourcing. - understaffed in key areas makes working on projects effectively difficult in some cases. * Limited time to learn new things on company time.

Pros

I have been working at Blue Spurs for a while now - and from day one I was never made to feel like my opinion didn't matter, but in the time since then the process has improved to the point where they look for opinions and are very welcome to hearing them. I've never felt undue pressure to do something that I wasn't comfortable with, and any instance where I had a second thought - it was brought up to the team and it was handled, I'm doing exactly what I want to be doing right now and I got there from speaking up and having those making decisions help me reach that point with training, focus and projects/assignments that fit me. That's a big part of working at Blue Spurs - the people. Every team that I worked with has been talented and understanding, and those who I haven't worked with yet are nice people.

Cons

Sometimes I feel that certain roles get swamped with work and that hinders their ability to perform 100% at times. While it has been improving there is certainly more room for improvement on this. Usually these are roles other than developer ones.
