      Awesome

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work life balance. The unlimited leave is great. Would be realistically 7-9 weeks which is way more than 4 weeks (legally entitled in NZ). Everyone should owns quality. CI/CD straight to production. Great cultures. Feedbacks are encouraged. People are good in different shapes. Good compensation.

      Cons

      While everyone should own quality, there are not many but some reckless devs. Lots of series(es) from acquisitions.

      Another slimy sales job disguised with benefits.

      Sales executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The job COULD be ok if you don’t mind being the sales person who never leaves people alone and haunts their dreams until they sign.

      Cons

      Completely unreasonable sales goals. Not great training (here, watch 3 days worth of videos). Fake frat like sales meetings. Must “drink the koolaid” to keep your job. Benefits, culture and values might be great for everyone else in the company, but being a sale rep in this company is not a sustainable position.
