Pros

When I joined Focused Labs, there was an emphasis on collaboration and learning. Good diversity and inclusion, and focus on coding best practices

Cons

The company has been taking on more clients involved in environmentally destructive business. There were many directives without much guidance.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your recognition of our benefits, colleagues, and competitive compensation. We assume that “No 401k vest” is in regards to our competitive policy on immediately vesting all company-matched 401k funds. Thank you for the feedback on our company benefits. We understand that job security and stability are crucial for mental health and overall well-being. We are committed to creating a supportive and stable work environment for our employees and will consider your feedback as we continue to improve. Best regards, Katy & JT

Pros

Great swag given out. You are a rich person now.

Cons

They speak of Psychological Safety yet it’s the complete opposite here. They speak of craft software but only favorites are allowed to actually go well. They will take any project. Software Craftsmanship takes a back seat almost always. They are small and have a hard time keeping the bench clear, so be prepared to be laid off at any time.
