Pros

SweetLabs is the most unique company I have ever worked for. Not only does the leadership team actually care about our happiness and well-being, but they also give us the freedom to step up and grow and learn new things. Something else that sets SweetLabs apart is the amazing group of people that inspire me to come into work everyday. It's not everyday you find coworkers that you actually like spending time with and can learn from, and that to me is priceless.

Cons

SweetLabs is a fast-paced company, we've always been that way. When you move at a pace like we do, sometimes things like communication, on-boarding, and training can be a challenge to keep up with. I know the company is working extremely hard right now to help fix some of those obstacles, so hopefully we will see some improvement in these areas in the near future.

Pros

This company not only provides a lush, comfortable environment for motivated employees to work at their best abilities - but allows maximum work/life balance. As a designer, providing internal and external marketing services to the company, I get amazing and fun projects constantly! The software engineers I work with are completely open and friendly - no need to hold back here. We have weekly office lunch and happy hours as well as monthly team-building activities. From an epic boat scavenger hunt on Lake Union to bowling or putt putt nights, there's no limit on fun here! But on top of it all - we define the phrase "work hard play hard." Culture is vital but we put our heads down and grind all week long. Then we have a pretty awesome, low-key Friday. We also love to research industry trends and learn new technology (like VR games and fixing 3D printers). I always say that SweetLabs is the 'MiracleGro' to my career. This place allows my portfolio and resume experience to blossom as I never thought possible! The future is so bright I gotta wear shades B)

Cons

As we are still a young company - there are always trial and errors moments. But I believe this is the most vital stage for discovery and growth! While we continue to find our latest direction in the latest mobile or computer technology, we shall also form our identity and foundation. If you want a static corporate (profit matters most) environment that is well-engrained in societal expectations and demands - avoid a start up company. They are TOO fun for that nonsense ;)
