Vantaggi
Working at Pattern has been a very positive experience. It is the ideal startup in terms of culture, work environment, and leadership. Everyone is extremely supportive, helpful, fun, and intelligent. You are provided with the proper, most latest, equipment you need to do your job. You get to work with some of the most talented engineers and are constantly challenged. With changing projects between different clients, the work is never boring, and you’re always learning, something I find to be highly valuable. Everyone is responsible for a project or some part of a project. The ability to own these parts is very fulfilling and while work is extremely flexible, you are trusted to get it done without being bothered. This responsibility really fosters a feeling of the need to succeed among everyone. Pattern delivers high quality work. Clients are always very impressed with the output of projects and the services they are provided. They are doing big things and coming out with some very innovative technology.
Svantaggi
I haven’t had a remotely negative experience here. I guess the only thing, which is what everyone else has touched on, is having pretty much complete autonomy over your work schedule (when you’re not onsite for a client), might not be for everyone. (I don’t think this is a bad thing though)
