Pros

So, I was a little scared working for a startup when I first interviewed here. I figured there would be long hours and lower pay then other places. That is not the case at all. The two owners, Fred and Ed have a development background themselves and really understand the ups and downs of development. They work hard to make sure that Sprints are properly planned out and that we are not interrupted putting out fires all the time (pretty much any other job I worked at). We work hard to get stuff done but there great work-life balance here. We also get to work with the latest gear and tech (Swift, Xamarin, Angular 2, Node.js) and I have learned more here in a year then I think I would have learned 5 years anywhere else. We get to collaborate as a team and try out new ideas and solutions. More importantly, management actively encourages it!

Cons

Small company so not that much room for position advancement. Now, knowledge advancement...that's a whole other ballgame!

Thanks! We really appreciate the feedback and all the great work the team is doing! We work hard to ensure that project requirements and expectations are well communicated to make sure we do not have too much "crunch" time. Oddly enough, work-life balance is something you have to work hard to achieve but is worth it :-)

Pros

I just finished up a 6 month mobile/web project as a developer (Team Member) with Clearly Agile and it was great! The owners of the company are former and current developers that really understand Agile and the development process. Unlike other places I worked for, they foster real code quality over just talking about it and still slamming things together and putting out fire after fire. Each day, we would pair with a partner and work an intense day building software together. At the end of the day, I was more proud of what I did with my pair then in any other job that I've had. Even though I was only a contractor on a fixed term contract, everyone there treated me well and made me feel like part of the team! The management structure is very flat and open so we had a lot of input into company decisions. I also got to work on different techs in the whole project which really helped my personal skill set.

Cons

It is a smaller company so room for advancement to a management position or anything like is not really there. But, I guess it is a software development shop that focuses mainly on that.
