Exciting workplace with real-world challenges - Software Engineer Mapbox Employee Review

* Supportive and collaborative environment * Few big egos, at every level people are supportive/collaborative (see point 1) * International perspective * Developer/open source community focused * Huge documentation focus because of the multiple time zones, which helps with good cross-team communication * Well organized HR and training so that onboarding is smooth * Good benefits, volunteer time off, PTO, relaxed atmosphere with professionalism * Well-established business with clear goals

* Can be difficult to coordinate meetings across time zones (on the positive, this leads to fewer meetings and better documentation/written communication!) * Lots of moving parts, can be hard to see across whole company

Some of the smartest people I've ever worked with as colleagues. Really interesting technology and problem space. Remote work and ownership culture are highlights.

CEO micromanages, doesn't delegate authority, and rarely celebrates success. He is not an inspiring leader to work for. Planning procedures do not allow resources to be managed for Automotive, resulting in repeated misses on goals and a lot of reactive work.
