Pluspunten

Nearly half of the staff has a teaching background, and everybody is aligned with the mission of the company. Growth is very intentional and slow/steady, which I appreciate having been at volatile startups before. We have strong values and positive culture as an all-remote company. There are no jerks or bros here, and everyone tries their best, owns their mistakes, and works to help others. Benefits are pretty good for a small company.

Minpunten

Logistical administration like HR onboarding and one-off issues was pretty difficult around early 2020 and beyond. Things have gotten massively better after the team grew and more structure for those types of tasks was put into place. Things aren't quite perfect (though a lot better) but management is responsive and transparent if there are any issues.

Pluspunten

The people at TechSmart are amazing, and they have created one of the best workplace cultures I've ever had to pleasure to experience. I genuinely look forward to coming to work. Also, TechSmart is a great place for people who are earlier in their careers to work at. Lots of challenging yet solvable problems to cut your teeth on.

Minpunten

TechSmart is a mission-driven startup that serves the US public education system. While the company is profitable year-over-year and hasn't laid anyone off since I've been there, the pay will likely never come close more established companies or companies in more lucrative industries.

Pluspunten

Remote work from anywhere. You're supplied with a work laptop. Most who are still there are aligned on the company mission and genuinely care about educational outcomes in computer science.

Minpunten

Processes are outdated or non-existent. The CEO changes the direction of the product on a whim, based on hot buzz words he's heard recently. There's very little room in that model to improve or fix existing issues. Morale is fairly low. Employees have been fired for nonsense reasons, but aren't replaced by new hires. Those still at the company have new responsibilities piled on when this happens, but little to now training to prepare. Benefits are also fairly weak.
