Pluspunten

The relaxed environment. Casual dress. Plenty of snacks and fresh fruit in-stock at all times. Plenty of coffee, soda, water, juice, you name it. The company sponsors lunch for employees in the Cleveland office each Monday, and the menu always has lots of fun stuff to try. Cool people. Some employees are from oversees, so I've learned a lot about different cultures, which I think is great. Employees get to choose their machines. If you are offered a job and you tell them you prefer working on a macbook air, you will have a brand new macbook air waiting for you when you start. They don't cut corners with regards to providing employees the resources necessary to succeed. Everyone is laid back. You don't have to sit in a chair (you can opt for a giant exercise ball). They pay for your parking. I could go on for days.... In conclusion, UrbanCode has offered me an avenue to explore new things and be a part of something big.

Minpunten

With the current office environment being so wide-open, it can sometimes lead to distractions. But it always makes for an interesting work-day. The company's headquarters are moving to the Halle Building in a few months, where I hear the workspace is pretty snazzy.

Pluspunten

Being a software developer at a smaller software company puts you right in the action. This isn't a place for someone who wants to do 8 hours of adequate work on some internal application and then drop it all and go home, this is a place for people who want to get things done, and that's well-established in the company culture. The company is expanding rapidly, and there is a lot of room for growth for people who can run with new projects or show initiative. The core development team is very knowledgable, and provides a good foundation for new people. The kind of software being developed provides great experience and exposes developers to a large variety of relevant tools and technologies. The employees are a close-knit group, partly due to company events like weekly company lunches, company parties, and other social events. Benefits are good: solid insurance, free parking or public transit pass, your choice of computer provided by the company, reimbursement for $1000/year of recreational spending, bonuses, etc. Location is a plus as well - the office is in a nicer part of downtown Cleveland, and living expenses are still low here.

Minpunten

There is a lot of work relative to the number of people to do it. Work/life balance can suffer from time to time as a result, although this primarily affects more senior developers with greater exposure to customer issues. It can also be difficult to keep track of everything that is going on sometimes. Recent growth and the addition of new roles have brought on some new challenges which may take some time for the company to figure out, but that's not really a pro or a con, just a result of the stage the company is at.
