Great bunch of people - Front End Developer Inlight Employee Review

Some projects are interesting. Kind and friendly people. Pay is good for the size of the company. Some really good devs work there. Multicultural backgrounds, which is cool. They sponsor visas for some people. There are a lot of people who have been there for a couple of years. Some remote flexibility, depending on the team.

Limited growth opportunities in desirable and trending tech. Every team seems to have undesirable work, more than I've experienced at other jobs. Devs can get pivoted to outdated and/or undesirable tech/projects (tech debt, some unconventional tech stacks, or placed in areas that don't align with past experience with fewer transferable skills like Adobe Experience Manager). Common agency issues, like chasing easily agreeable shiny features over much needed tech-debt/cleanup, tracking work done in 15 minute increments on timesheets, and some micromanagement (depends on team). Expectations for both high quality work and fast output on small teams that manage multiple projects, which can get stressful.

The Inlight staff members especially SLT give so much to the company. They clearly really care about the people and the clients and have created a beautiful culture of learning, care, expertise and fun!

Some of the projects I worked on weren’t managed so well. However this was mostly due to staff changing
