Good Place to work - Recensione dipendente - Lead/Senior Software Engineer presso Sourcetoad

Management focuses on more than just the clients; the team members are encouraged to grow and learn, providing the ability to become better and happier in your role. Management also allows a person to outgrow their current role and move into something else (if there is an opening there, of course), and celebrates your personal and professional work. The people are absolutely amazing and people feel comfortable (and inspired) to be their true selves... none of that walking on eggshells or fearing that voicing your opinion will leave you out of a job.

Working here will ruin you for other companies in that you learn how fulfilling projects, your team, and the company can be, every other place you may move to will be a letdown

It can be a good place with decent work life balance. Management is usually willing to train and promote within. They are understanding and can really feel like a "perfect" place to work at times, which is why you will see lots of good reviews. But don't drink the kool aid!

Layoffs, layoffs, layoffs. Almost every year. No job security. Unfortanely no matter how hard you try to make a place have a great culture without money flowing in things fall apart. Sadly consulting is a very tough business with tight margins and highly dependent on clients whims. The main issue is it seems they can't figure out how to create a stable revenue and with a tough market and fierce competition from offshore firms Sourcetoad is in a tight spot. To me it also seems they overspend and overextend, all of the nice little perks you get as an employee come at a cost to the business. They also tend to overhire which caused a big downturn a couple of years ago where they invested into a possible business that when it went sour employees paid the price. Anyways I can't recommend this place because despite the possibility to be a great place they can't offer job security.
