Pros
I’ve worked at Sidebench for over a year and I’m constantly amazed by how much I’ve learned during my time here. I’ve been given the opportunity to work with and learn from design teams, project management teams and development teams, all whose ideas, processes and thinkings I’ve been able to learn from and apply to my own work. The team is a group of incredibly intelligent and hardworking individuals who have come from so many different perspectives and backgrounds. The leadership team has provided me with opportunities to prove myself beyond my job description, and they’ve trusted me to work autonomously while also giving me ample time to explore projects that I’m genuinely passionate about. Another perk of working here is the flexible working culture. Sidebench understands that you have a life outside of work and are happy for you to work from home or alternative hours where needed.
Cons
I'd only avoid if you are strictly looking for a typical 9-5 job. As a small but growing company, there is more to do and more hats to wear than a large corporation where everything is defined. If you are someone who is looking for a role that allows you to go above and beyond the job description, pursue your passions, and learn a lot very quickly, this is a great place to work.
