Enjoyable work in a welcoming community - Software Engineer Presslabs Employee Review

A small team made up of great people. You always have someone to bounce ideas around with. The CTO is very involved in the day-to-day coding, so he can relate and understand technical problems, which in my experience is not always the norm. Management was very open to change, so I was able to have a huge impact quickly after joining, by suggesting the whole dev team should do on-call rotations, to dog-food our work. A great office in the heart of the historical center. I used to walk or bike to work, and there are showers, so you can even bike on a very hot day.

The company can be unfocused at times, with engineering chasing cool problems instead of doing the boring but necessary maintenance work. This has gotten better over time. I left because they had to downsize, money was tight. It's a small company, so if potential financial instability scares you...

Most of the team is made up of young senior level programmers which are always willing to help you in any situation, work related or not. The management team is great, always understands your needs and tries to fulfil them. Being a small team you are involved or aware of most of development tasks. The team is dynamic and always up to date with the latest technologies, so you always have something new to learn from them. Great vibe in the office, you have games, ping-pong table or other relaxing activities you can do.

Less formal training. Being a small company they do not have always the time to give you the training you need in order to be productive in the shortest period of time.
