Directionless - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Sencha

Sencha has some of the smartest and easiest to work with developers you'll find anywhere. Their products are widely used and highly regarded. As a developer you are given the latitude to solve problems the way you feel is best and are encouraged to innovate. Developers are supported with top of the line gear and tools. No fuss or corporate bureaucracy.

Building a team of such great developers wouldn't be possible at a single site. Because of this sencha is very spread out across the US and Europe. You'll need to be comfortable working with people remotely over chats and hangouts. On the plus side this means that Sencha is very flexible with working from home.

Compensation is competitive. Benefits are solid. Flexible work location/schedule for the engineering team. Intelligent and friendly co-workers all over the world. HQ is very nice and offers free lunch and snacks 5 days a week. Free gym membership on campus. Passionate community. The core product and tools are highly regarded.

In the process of refocusing on the enterprise, Sencha hastily deployed a pricing model in a way that turned a lot of people off. I believe Sencha will begin landing some larger deals, but revenues will stagnate as the user-base erodes which will put more pressure on employees to do more with less until Sencha is forced to change the pricing model, take additional VC money, or both.
