UI Designer

I made great friends while I was there. There was flexibility about roles and projects so even though I was a designer I was doing UX sometimes and coding sometimes, and even some HR sometimes. Higher management was pretty open to some of my culture-boosting ideas. Location in Boulder is terrific. Benefits and pay were good. Casual, creative vibe.
|
A little vanilla. Slow growth mindset. Not super keen on innovative / disruptive ideas.

Decent Place To Work
|
|
Relaxed environment. No one's looking over your shoulder.
|
Complete lack of vision and direction for the company from management. Everything is a fast cash grab with no long term goal.

Software Engineer

There are some pros to working here. The main one being that they work with a wide range of technology. You are given a high level of autonomy to explore new technologies and solve interesting problems.
|
The work is only good for someone who is a junior-mid level engineer. After a while it gets stale and you realize that you're just building websites for ill informed customers who aren't in it to make a profit. The data services team is also at times incompetent and unable to see future scalability problems. This forces you to circumvent what would otherwise be a fun API to work with. There is also an overall lack of vision for the company and you will often end up chasing one off solutions to make a quick buck. At times, I was forced to work with technologies that had been chosen for me by upper management that were not a suitable solution for the actual problem they were trying to solve.
I also want to note that this company does drug test when they hire. This didn't affect me at all, but being in Colorado and the fact that it's 2016 it just seems ridiculous that they would enforce it.

Find a direction to take that will make the company profitable and let the engineers actually engineer solutions. Act more like a software firm instead of an agency.

Interesting Work, Great People
|
|
Get to work on interesting products with sports and entertainment theme, which keeps it engaging and easy to understand and improve. Lots of great people on the team and opportunities to try new things. Location on Pearl Street in Boulder is central and convenient.
|
Product delivery related to key sports event dates mean that deadlines can't really move, which sometimes creates challenges in the development and delivery process.

Great place to work!
|
|
Great work life balance. Modern, efficient equipment provided to all employees. Exciting industry with engaging content. Great perks (keg, free snacks, lunch provided). Awesome location - on Pearl Street. Fun working environment.
|
Finding parking can be tough near Pearl street in Boulder. Communication could be improved a bit between upper management and the teams.

Lack of leadership and a toxic engineering environment is resulting in high turnover
|
|
Most of the people are friendly and want to make the company a success.
Free lunches every Thursday.
Relatively laid back environment. You are allowed to work from home 1 day per week.
|
There is no share of equity in the company. The three founding members want to sell the company to an investor before sharing equity.
Employee turnover (especially in engineering) is extremely high.
Engineering is viewed by the leadership team as a "regrettable necessity".
The product (mobile app and web products) are not well received by users. Product management needs to start listening to the users.
The development team is run by a operations person who does not like developers. The good developers have all left. Junior developers have been promoted to seniors without deserving it to get them to stay.
The foundation of the product (the API) is bug ridden and needs to be scrapped and started over.
