Pros

Amazing colleagues. Engineers always pushing for best practices. This has a huge benefit of self improvement. Also the design and product side is powerful. Always good to have such people working together with extreme collaboration. Everyone is open-minded and helpful to each other. Company always encourages employees to be more active in the community. You will find lots of opportunities to work on open source projects, do a spike in some new cool technology and write blogs posts about it.

Cons

Lack of process around human resources. People in management may have multiple positions to keep up. This could even be a benefit for small companies (flexibility). But Novoda is growing and this lack of process may result into unfair situations between employees and across offices. Classic problems with agencies: Sometimes, the projects are small and you don't have enough people around you. In those cases, client expectations from engineers are usually not aligned. Clients always expect more. This may get stressful.

Pros

- Great and just inspiring colleagues - Brilliant career opportunities - Room for personal learning and growth - Flat hierarchies - Good ways for knowledge sharing - One can define their role here - Diversity-friendly environment - Budget for conferences and encouragement for speaking there - Interesting clients - Free snacks - Even though Novoda is split into four offices across Germany, UK and Spain - you're not feeling excluded from the other places. We're doing a lot of remote pairing and activities together.

Cons

- My start was a bit bumpy - Processes around travelling and booking conferences could be improved - Sometimes the communication is a bit weak why things are taking time
