Business Outlook
Pros
- had great food and offices, translated into decent perks after turning remote - lots of energy and enthusiasm for e-commerce - remote (but who isn't these days)
Cons
- low pay, compare themselves to other low paying shops, like the government - hire interns and train internally to keep salaries low - recent success relies on the business model, not tech innovation. there is very little technical expertise to learn from here. lots of reinventing of the wheel - very little diversity in developer roles, brogrammer culture, disorganized, popularity contests
