Pros

I had the best experience of my life there. Smart ethical and humane founders who hired great people. Care about you as a person and are generous with their knowledge and time to help you grow. I am still in touch with many folks even though the company shut down a while ago. Learned a ton and had lots of fun.

Cons

A bit chaotic at times but such are startups.

Pros

OpenCraft fully embodies its values, and provides a remote and mostly asynchronous workspace that allows you to truly focus on the things you need to do, when you want to. You’ll constantly be challenged, in the right way. You’ll work with high-profile clients whose names will look good on your resume. The team is hard-working, brilliant, and very supportive — I couldn’t ask for better colleagues.

Cons

Remote and async work requires a lot of self-organization and resourcefulness. You need to be good at managing stress, learn not to over-commit, and take breaks and time off. The job requires top-notch work and brings lots of challenges. Your colleagues will support you, but don't expect a lot of babysitting. Self management (no manager, sharing multiple roles between work cell such as budget planning, sprint planning, etc.) can be a challenge for the unfamiliar.

Pros

- Almost all code repositories, documentation and even internal forum are public. - If you're an employee, there are no secrets from you at all. Decisions almost always are taken collectively. - Good portion of management is done by developers. - Constant and large investments in management automation. - Meetings are optional, asynchronous communication is preferable. - Lot of high-skilled coworkers to learn from.

Cons

If you have committed to do something, you must do it. That's the base of a high quality of work that OpenCraft does. But this policy is strict, and you have to be ready for it.
