Great Leadership, Awesome Team

Pros

- CEO Richard Rabbat has a strong software engineering background and provides insightful technical leadership. - The development team is driven, experienced and highly cooperative. - Fast development cycles. Great opportunity to learn new things and grow as an engineer with projects that go from conception to completion in days instead of months. - Great environment for multilinguals. It was very gratifying to see a new community of users arise after translating our site into my native tongue. A majority of the company is multicultural. - A new office for a new year. We just relocated to a larger office in Palo Alto with plenty of room to grow.

Cons

- Back end team is mostly located in Canada and very busy which makes full stack development a bit more complicated and time consuming.

Pros

Worked on a few interesting and challenging projects. Friendly co-workers (people have been the main treasure of this company). Convenient office location.

Cons

CEO is micromanaging every single person in the office. Constant changes in directions the project is moving. This is a discouraging work experience. It makes your motivation drop significantly over time. It's a start-up, I get it. But there are limits. I had nightmares that I had to return to Gfycat and work for Richard again! Whew!
