Pros

Substantial had perhaps the strongest developer culture of any company I've ever worked at. Developers really care about quality software development, adhere very well to best practices (TDD, code reviews) and are constantly looking for ways to improve. Project management and process is at exactly the right level: enough to keep things moving smoothly but not so much as to bog down progress.

Cons

Probably the same cons as working at any other agency, lots of short term projects mean less depth into any one product.

Pros

I feel extremely valued and heard, no matter what team members or departments I'm interacting with. They encourage feedback and never back away from answering the tough questions. They care about their employees far more than any company I've been with, and they work just as hard for their clients. They've implemented helpful policies and changes for successful hybrid working and are continuously working to improve.

Cons

None so far! It's been a blast working here.

Pros

The people I worked with were all brilliant and fostered a very healthy work culture.

Cons

Unfortunately, management and C-Suite seemed inept at running a business. Additionally upward mobility seemed difficult for some colleagues vs others, and it was never clear as to why that was.
