Skip this place - Engineering Spellbook Employee Review

The work is creative, cutting edge, challenging high-velocity and new. The culture is mind over matter and anti-beurocratic. There are decades worth of experience mentoring you on difficult problems. Working at a startup isn't for everyone, but if you feel pressure is a privilege this is the place. Diamonds are made here!

Sometimes we feel "understaffed" but honestly, it's because the bar is high and I'm grateful for that.

> Interesting product and customer base - lots of opportunity to learn! > Company trajectory is overwhelmingly positive, with no signs of slowing down. > The company and product vision is clear and easy to get behind. You can really see where we intend to be years from now. > People here clearly care about the product and customers. Developers regularly seek customer feedback, sales works closely with product, and a great deal of care goes into the user experience. > A Canadian company with Canadian culture. Friendly, open, smart, understanding, compassionate, humble. > Work/life balance is strongly encouraged across the org. Definitely a family-friendly company. > Wages, benefits and perks are very fair. > A flat org, where you're only a few steps removed from the SLT at all times. > Communication is transparent and encouraged for all roles and levels. It's always clear what our goals are, who's building what, and why. > Perhaps cliche - very talented people work (and stay) here. > Inviting and encouraging company culture, where talent is prioritized over background. People here come from all over tech, with a variety of experiences, ideas and opinions that contribute to a wonderfully productive environment. > There is a healthy respect for our competitors and their products. > Able to work with and try new tools and the latest tech.

Still a growing start-up, which means: > Processes are in flux as we adapt to our growth. > We move incredibly fast, try new things and make mistakes. > Roles are not fully fleshed out - those aiming to stick to a strict role and set of responsibilities will have trouble adapting. > Pivots are fairly common as we react to a rapidly evolving market.
