Pros
I have been working as a software developer at DespatchCloud for nearly three years now, and I can confidently say it was an amazing experience right from the beginning. Perhaps one of the best features I like is the friendly and supportive nature of the company. The feeling of camaraderie within the team is really great, and collaboration with your co-workers and professional development come quite organically. DespatchCloud does have a well-structured work process where deadlines are usually realistic, and you get all the time required to produce quality work. Having said that, the company has high standards when it comes to code quality, which in turn propels you to improvement constantly. Mistakes will happen, and should they do, the team is understanding and constructive about those mistakes. That said, experiences might be very different depending on the department. Work-life balance is great, with lots of respect for working hours. The team is dynamic and flexible: everybody is encouraged to take up significant responsibilities. In my mind, this flexibility and responsibility are what give the company this unique spirit. Salaries are always on time, and the company organizes at least one event per year, which is really great to connect with your colleagues in a more relaxed setting. Generally speaking, DespatchCloud is a very nice workplace if you seek a collaborative, dynamic, and rewarding environment.
Kontras
The job becomes quite demanding at times, especially during major projects. Since the company encourages growth, I would like to see more planned professional development in terms of workshops or training for enhancing skills other than day-to-day ones.
