One of the best companies I worked with - Recensione dipendente - Senior Software Engineer presso Velocity Works

This was my first software development role. Because of the small size of the business and low experience level of my team, I was meaningfully contributing within days, and soon was involved in every part of the software development process, granted about as much responsibility as I was willing to take on. This was a huge asset to my growth. Openness and communication were a fundamental part of the company culture, and it was a very warm and cooperative environment that attracted a team that was very easy to work with.

While initial growth was fast, it was capped very quickly. Due to the small size of the business, there wasn't really a second rung to the ladder. The team I was working with was very inexperienced, so there was little in the way of senior expertise to draw on.

A lot of work to do and good way to get your feet wet in software.

Working on weekends sometimes. They are essentially a middle man for companies so whatever you are making for their client know that they are taking a cut. Not a ton of talent on the actual in-house team so leadership in terms of software is close to non-existent and CEO is not involved
