Pros

hours is very flexible, most of the time you can decide when and where to work. you can also work from another country, which is very convenient if you like to travel and work at the same time.

Cons

project management is still not there yet, so the project timeline could get a bit tight, team member responsibility need to be more clearly defined.

Pros

- Perfect place if you want to work with an extremely smart, respectful and self-motivated team. I am constantly amazed by how intelligent and talented these people are. Everyone truly cares about what they do and are constantly sharing their learnings. - Culture of honesty and trust. - Lots of opportunity for personal growth. - Founder is a great boss - really cares about the team, wants to make sure everyone is growing in their role and moving in a direction they want to go in, great with clients, very professional and calm in stressful situations, a great person to learn from. - Work remotely or go into the office - I love having the option to do either. We typically try to come into the office Tuesdays and Fridays so that we're all together at least a couple days a week. - If you’re looking for a corporate culture this is not the place for you! Super easy going environment, flexible hours, and opportunities to travel while working remotely. - Beautiful office space - currently in Startwell on King - lots of beautiful rooms, designated desks, complimentary latte hour, fresh fruit water daily, socials on Thursdays -Very reasonable salaries -We don’t have a specific benefits package but you can expense what you need

Cons

Serind Labs is such a unique company, it’s hard to think of a con. We could use another project manager but we’re on the hunt for one.

Pros

- Free Snacks (not stocked up) - Beer fridge - small team - occasional team lunches on Friday

Cons

- all these good reviews were just asked for it. (Run the company in a way so that no one has to beg for good reviews) - be ready to hear a lot of fake promises. - sometimes you will hear about cashflow issues(not sure true or false as I can't trust founder fully) but because of this cashflow issue your pay cheque might be late - really bad salaries, way under market value - you are expected to work extra hours, and there's no compensation for that. - founder will tell you to be transparent in front of client about the project progress but then he just keeps on making fake promises to client. - depending on the project load you might be asked to work over the weekends or even come to the office over the weekends. - you will be jumping from project to project. You might be asked to jump on a project that you never worked on and go through someone's code and not knowing the structure/feature or anything (yeah, deal with it because on Monday you will be asked whether you got any progress #pickUpTheProjectInTwoDays). - It's a tech company w/o the perks of working in a tech company. No medical/dental benefits. (no you don't sign any form for benefit) Founder claims that he will cover up to $1500 dental expenses but that's just his words which probably never came true for any employee. - no coding standards, everyone just follows their own convention, no proper QA process, doesn't follow TDD.
