Avantages
Work culture is great. Unboxed has done a great job of assembling a team of really fun and also really committed, hardworking people. You don't really deal with internal conflicts. It's easy to build healthy, supporting co-worker relationships here, even amongst people who work in different parts of the business. Being that Unboxed is a small-ish company, as an individual, you still feel like your contribution matters and has a noticeable impact for the company as a whole and for the client you are working with. Your opinion matters. Professional development is highly encouraged and supported. Unboxed has a great PTO policy and encourages us to use it. Your manager will harp on you for NOT taking more time off if they see you have too many unused days. Because the dev team is relatively small, each one wears a lot of different hats, which gives you opportunity to learn and grow a lot more. One week you might focusing on dev ops, the next week front end, the next week back end. It's a nice variety and keeps things interested and also challenges you to continue to sharpen all of your skills.
Inconvénients
Sometimes the work load is pretty heavy. Those seasons come and go. Sometimes we work really fast and when working with really larger clients who move at a slower, more conservative pace, managing the mis-match in pace can be difficult. We could automate a lot more of our work on the technology team, but we are working in that direction.
