Pros

The people at TechSmart are amazing, and they have created one of the best workplace cultures I've ever had to pleasure to experience. I genuinely look forward to coming to work. Also, TechSmart is a great place for people who are earlier in their careers to work at. Lots of challenging yet solvable problems to cut your teeth on.

Cons

TechSmart is a mission-driven startup that serves the US public education system. While the company is profitable year-over-year and hasn't laid anyone off since I've been there, the pay will likely never come close more established companies or companies in more lucrative industries.

Pros

The people are very kind and will always help each other. From Slack messages to Zoom calls it doesn't feel remote even though that's exactly what it is. I still feel connected to my team and the company as a whole. Questions are answered or solved because everyone cares. It's not as though this is a group who are being forced to deal with something they don't find interesting or are passionate about. If someone doesn't come from a coding background then it is a teaching background. It's the perfect blend for a company that works on teaching coding through a platform.

Cons

Sometimes it can take a while for things to happen. Since TechSmart is still fairly small people are still wearing several hats and might not be able to work on a specific project right away.

Pros

- Friendly and understanding management with good work-life balance and flexibility for schedules (including remote work) - Friendly and compassionate atmosphere with supportive coworkers - Very passionate about equity and really tries to live up to and embody the company's core values - Doing top-quality work in a space that makes a meaningful difference - Good healthcare benefits including vision and dental

Cons

- Tends to overrun resources; the company is historically always slightly understaffed for the initiatives it is running - Top performance demanded; not a place where you can get by just coasting (although breaks and pacing oneself are encouraged to avoid burnout) - Lower compensation than some of the pure tech-centric employers in the Seattle area; it's not bad, but not a place to work if your top priority is making as much money as possible
