Pros
Viewpost is a startup at heart. When you walk into the work environment, you experience a constant energy on the floor - developers, business analysts, UX, deployment and QA folks all working together to get great features out the door. The people at Viewpost are legitimately low ego, transparent, friendly and passionate about what they do. It is a product-first, team-first mentality, where folks will rally around anyone to help them get the job done. The technical teams are talented and developers "geek out" over growing in the craft of software development - as a developer, you grow a ton just by being on the floor and learning from those around you. The product and business vision is stellar. They stock a kitchen with food and drinks to keep folks energized.
Kontras
Viewpost is constant energy, and as such, it is a high distraction environment. You definitely need to be able to plugin and focus. You don't want to work for Viewpost if you are looking to work a 9 to 5 job - people are passionate about the product and company, and it is a shared expectation that we will do what it takes to succeed. For a startup, the hours are pretty reasonable and there is a focus on maintaining work-life balance, but there are definitely crunch times when capability needs to get out the door. There is a well-developed security and compliance presence, and it is a continual challenge to balance being secure with delivering the product quickly.
