- good, useful work.
- access to all the right tools,
- good balance of autonomy and teamwork to get the work done
|
manager was new to the role, had some negative characteristics (either passive-aggressive or poor at communication, considered my use of questions as excessive)

Best Company I've Worked For
|
|
Autonomy to do your job, but support from manager when you need it. Clearly communicated and well-defined goals and progress to those goals both from your manager about your own performance as well as about the company as a whole. Exciting technology that is extremely well received by buyers (it actually does what we say it does). Really friendly people (we almost always eat lunch together as a company - weird, right?) and a heavy emphasis on fun in and out of the workplace (baseball games, parties, high intensity ping-pong tournaments, movies at Cinerama, etc.). Even though we're expected to get a lot accomplished there is great respect for work/life balance from the top down and leading by example. No silent guilt trips.
|
Can be a chaotic environment at certain times of the year. We work really hard and are expected to make things happen without the resources of a large company. I don't really see these things as cons...it's part of what makes it exciting to work here.

It's a work-hard, play-hard environment with some very smart people that are enjoyable to work with.
|
|
The salary is very competitive and you're given full autonomy to get your work done - but the team is always willing to help when/if needed. Management always has an open door and there's always an opportunity to speak your peace or to ask questions. It's a relatively small team, but everyone seems to get along and work well together. Oh, and half-day Fridays during the Summer... I love that!
|
There's very few bad few things to say about working at Yapta. Pioneer Square after dark isn't always pleasant, but there's not much you can do about that.

Very positive-thinking engineers.
Technology flexibility was excellent.
CEO is very accessible to anyone within the company.
Engineers that love to learn from their co-workers.

Decision-making regarding company direction was restricted to management.
Disorganized software and feature creation process.
Managers lack any amount of HR skills.

Yapta, fun, flaky startup
|
|
The work and people at Yapta are great.
The positive work environment made coming to work every day worthwhile.
The technological flexibility was also a nice feature.
|
The dramatic swings in company direction based on outside factors were troubling.
The sometimes lack of transparency into the decision making process regarding the above.
