Pros

I worked with Gimmal for almost a year and my journey was memorable. This is a team that strives to excel in every way possible. All coworkers were knowledgable and had a passion for their work. There is a spectrum of knowledgable engineer, who can really help you, no matter what stage of career you may be in. All my work was challenging and I learned a lot from the experienced people. The development practices are industry leading, the Gimmal SDK is the evidence of that. The Chief Architect is extremely knowledgeable, not just within the company products, but also a wide range of technology, products, development styles and engineering. Very flexible around time and schedule. Tons of competitive benefits. A kitchen with snack and drinks help socialize. Excellent vacation: 4 weeks + 3 days.

Cons

While there are ton of resources, you must make an effort to go out there and grab knowledge from them. No clear career path to grow up in the company. You have to make your own effort to get out of your way to find out how can grow.

Pros

There has been a noticeable shift toward positivity and growth. Our sales have seen a significant uptick which is reflective of solid business strategies with our current team. In the last year, our company culture has become far more collaborative and supportive which creates more of a sense of unity within the team. Looking ahead to 2024, there's a sense of optimism about opportunities for growth at all levels. I'm genuinely hopeful for this positive trend to continue.

Cons

The current reality at Gimmal is that the team is smaller than it should be. This shows that we work very well together but provides little in the way of backup or redundancy. As everyone wears multiple hats, there is higher chance for burnout among all levels of the team, and the responsibilities are sometimes hard to juggle. This is something to be mindful of if you have difficulty in balancing more than one responsibility. Time management is crucial to success at Gimmal.
