Great small ed-tech startup - Software Engineer Neverware Employee Review

Good environment. Excellent members. Right Business Strategy.

Too Far away from home.

Fair work environment. Salaries all visible from within the company. Flexibility to mold your position to something that fits you (for example I started six years ago as a server admin and moved to Software Engineering a few years back.) Leadership genuinely cares about your professional growth and wants to help you find niches that fit 'you'. Work life balance is fantastic, with the company actively promoting that you take time for yourself. Neverware has gone above and beyond to make sure all of their employees feel comfortable through the current pandemic. No one has been let go, the office has moved to a full remote work set-up and management is very open about a plan to return to office work, but only when everyone is comfortable with it. Management is very transparent about the company's plans and financial state which is great since nothing is ever a surprise.

Due to being a pretty small scale company there have been times where we've had to take pay cuts during financial hardships (for example, the early stages of the pandemic.) Though both times this has happened all employees have been paid back in full all income lost after the company found it's footing. Even though employees are generally setup to try to carve out a career path for themselves, sometimes the available paths can be very unclear or even non-existent. Lack of job overlap means that certain employees may not have team members they can fall back on as much as others (specifically on the engineering team,) though we're currently trying to hire more roles to fix that issue so this may not be a problem come 2021.
