Pros

- Convertize is full of hardworking and happy employees who like to make a difference to the organisation and to fellow colleagues. - The web development team is continuously evolving and work with the latest technologies and techniques. Here we are able to progress and feel excited about what we're working on. - There is a process-driven approach to team-working and project flow, including test-driven development, code reviews, knowledge-sharing sessions, continuous integration and even time for keeping technical documentation updated. The process gets better with each added team member. - The satisfaction of team members is crucial to the success of what Convertize delivers. We share our thoughts, help one another and respect each others' opinions. - A dedicated software tester ensures we keep our quality levels high. - Flexibility is available when needed, whether it be working hours or working remotely. Some of the developers work 100% remotely as we welcome awesomeness from anywhere, including Poland and Germany (Berlin). - The projects being worked on are very challenging and exciting, involving Machine Learning, Microservices and Restful APIs, browser extensions and mobile app, analytics, user segmentation and behavioural analysis, 3rd-party integrations, devops-related and much more. 2018 is going to be a fun year for the team :)

Cons

In the past I would have said that management is too agile and makes developers refactor more than is necessary. This is however changing as our processes become better and the product management, stakeholder and developer workflow is improved with interactive UX prototypes, a 3 year roadmap and detailed specifications for the following 6 months.

Pros

I am surprised by some of the negative reviews which don't correspond to my own experience. It's true that there are plenty of interns (most from good universities like Oxford) but I don't see this as a negative thing. They provide energy and enthusiasm and are fun to work with. The CEO can be direct in his manner - as a mostly French company the working culture is different to more English companies - but I had no issues with this. You will be left alone to do your job which for me is a definite positive. It's true that you don't get a lot of onboarding and will be expected to jump straight in to your work but this is the best way to learn. Overall I've found it an enjoyable place to work. The work is interesting and you have lots of freedom with what you do, as long as you get results.

Cons

If you're the sort of person who constantly needs reassurance that you're doing a good job and doesn't enjoy constructive criticism then it may not be the right place for you. You will be expected to work hard and to be flexible - if you think this is a "con" then it might not be the place for you!

Thank you for your feedback It's true that we ask people to be flexible and autonomous. We offer jobs that are challenging and with a lot of responsibilities. Our most successful team members are those with a GSD approach and growth mindset. Philippe -CEO
