You will always be remote. No micromanagement. Great team.

Switching from project to project often.

The working-from-home arrangement promotes a good work-life balance which is especially beneficial when compared to other companies that have set office times. There are some excellent people working for the company who are invested in its success, and are welcoming towards new members of staff. There is some potential for exposure to a decent range of projects depending on the role a person is in.

Little credence is given to industry standards or common practices of software development. The company instead opts for an idiosyncratic and inflexible approach to development. This extends to, in some cases, improper use of programming language constructs that contravenes software patterns commonly used by developers. Communication and team organisation is a concern for the company, with insufficient steps being taken to remedy the isolation from colleagues that comes as a result of the working-from-home arrangement. Employee turnover has been very high over the past couple of years. Many developers have joined the company only to leave in less than two years. This is likely due to the particular practices that have developed within the company - it is somewhat at odds with what developers have come to expect from their profession.
