FantasticThe good thingsSwyftx has met and far exceeded my expectations. When I started looking for a new job, I expected to have to trade off work life balance for a good salary. Stress for growth opportunities. I haven't had to make any such trade offs at Swyftx.
Swyftx is filled with super friendly and competent people who are excited about the future of the company and product and are always willing to help.
They place a lot of value on employee growth. All developers have regular catch up's with Jared (our friendly Engineering Manager) to ensure we're happy and making progress towards our personal goals.
They mean it when they say they want people to love coming in to work, and I think they achieve that goal pretty effectively. Activities like tennis on Monday and PT on Tuesday, Ping Pong any day, Friday afternoon drinks, end of month activities (Oche augmented reality darts bar last month), a kitchen constantly filled with goodies and a brilliant team make it a fantastic place to work.
Also, as someone passionately interested in entrepreneurship and becoming a great developer, being privy to conversations about technical and business best practices as Swyftx continues to grow at rocket speed feels invaluable.
The challengesJust typical new job stuff, getting up to speed with the way they do things.
