Pros

- The people, the people, the people. - The company has a flat structure so you can have a massive impact on day one - It's a playground for self-starters. You are encouraged to try new things, new roles, or new ideas. Every year you can take an "inovacation" week to work on a self-motivated project of your choosing. - Management is incredibly accessible. You don't like your chair? Just send an email. You don't like the software they are using? They'll hear you out, and if they agree, they'll change it. Any problem I ever had was resolved within a week. - Surfmerchants is human, compassionate, caring and kind. A few years ago, my Dad ended up in the hospital. SurfMerchants gave me the space I needed to prioritize my time in the way that made sense for me and my family without any hesitation or pressure. - Management genuinely wants you to succeed, and if SurfMerchants is no longer the place for you, they will support you and do whatever is in their power to help you move on to where you need to go. - And then, of course, the work from home schedule, 401K matching, free health insurance, lunch on Fridays, beer o'clock, cold brew coffee, pool table, DOGS (you can bring your dog to work!!), snacks, and friendships that will last you a lifetime.

Cons

- The pay is little low - As a social person, the work from home schedule took some getting used to

They fired me and I don't blame them.

Pros

This place was a model for how to work in a software company. I still use techniques that I learned there and try to emulate some of their technical workflows and productivity systems.

Cons

They could have communicated better. I was not the best employee but I wish I saw it coming.

Pros

The corporate culture has been amazing and management has always been very flexible. They have shown time and again that they will go the extra mile to put their employees first making it a pleasure to work there.

Cons

The pay does tend to be on the lower end, but they more than make up for it in benefits and future opportunities.
