Denova

Pros: There are some really solid colleagues here. They're smart, and we help each other out with tough coding problems. For a mid-sized tech company, it's not too corporate.
Cons: The remote culture feels pretty fragmented. Communication from leadership isn't always clear, especially for remote employees. It's hard to feel part of a cohesive team.
Advice to Management: Really focus on building a stronger, more inclusive remote company culture. Clearer communication from the top down would help. Maybe some team-building events, even virtual ones, could connect the software development teams better.

Pros: It's a pretty social place. I enjoyed the team events and hackathons in the San Francisco office, which helps with bonding for Software Engineer roles. There's a decent sense of community when people are engaged.
Cons: The hybrid work setup sometimes makes it tough to feel connected. There's a bit of cliquishness, and new hires can find it hard to break in, especially in this mid-sized tech company. Management doesn't always set a clear cultural tone.
Advice to Management: Focus on making the hybrid work environment more inclusive for everyone. Encourage cross-team collaboration more actively to break down silos.
