Pros

I really enjoyed my time at Capsule and I learned a lot. The managers led with empathy and it was a great engineering culture.

Cons

Capsule laid off 30% of their engineers July 2022 and this was a clear symptom of over-hiring in the previous year. Leading up to the layoff there were some signs of culture erosion as well as lack of transparency from the CEO about the company's financial position.

Pros

The thing that Capsule does best is hiring - they have managed to hire some really fantastic people in every department. Not only are they hard workers, but they are talented at what they do and hold their own in front of clients large and small. Everyone gets along well and leadership has fostered a great working environment. The benefits are pretty decent with good PTO, flexibility to work remote and paid health insurance.

Cons

Because it's a small shop, you are asked to wear many hats or try something new, so if you're uncomfortable with that, that should be a consideration before applying. Pay is below local standards, but what you lose in salary, you gain in cool clients and a great work environment.
