Pluspunten

- great teammates in engineering org - good tech, ability to quickly build and ship things to production and have impact - autonomy for teams to operate - WLB

Minpunten

- multiple rounds of huge layoffs - culture change with people leaving/laid off - distrust of leadership and direction of company My experience at Extend started out very well. People in the engineering organization were friendly, smart, and great to work with. The business was never really stable organizationally (maybe typical of a startup? Idk). There were constant re-orgs, HR processes changed every year, etc. I don't think we ever had the same performance review process twice, and we were supposed to have those every 6 months. The CEO used to address the company at a weekly all-hands meeting, but these meetings dropped off in the last year. The last year and a half really soured my experience. Multiple rounds of huge layoffs, messages by leadership that we're still on the right path (does this path include more layoffs?). If someone has a choice, I would caution against working here for the job security factor alone.

Pluspunten

Extend is still a young startup, and the growth is significant from revenue and business expansion perspective. As an employee, that means you are always exposed with new exciting projects / problems every quarter if not every month. I was never bored over the past 4 years here from a work perspective. The leadership team is very energetic / transparent as well, and they always move FAST! That means if you are passionate with your career / growth, you are gonna feel fulfilled here.

Minpunten

Typical growing pain as a startup, sometimes work could be stressful given tight timeline.

Pluspunten

Work life balance is what you make it. There are always things to work on and some people may burn themselves out trying to do it all. In the fast-paced start up environment that Extend is in, you have to manage that for yourself and work with your manager to push back when needed. Management is a real strength here. The leadership I have worked with truly care about their employees and are very open and honest with communicating what is happening at the company.

Minpunten

I don’t believe there are many people at the company with a solid understanding of the whole life cycle of our product from all aspects of the company. It’s challenging when something comes to your team and trying to determine ownership of who is responsible for correcting the problem.
