How employees describe working at Code and Theory
Worked there for less than a year before finding somewhere else. Toxic culture and should be avoided.
While the design is good on the frontend there is NO focus or thought on the editor/content experience making it hard to use what they have developed for you
one of the best experiences I have had and its what makes me want to work here even more.
I wake up everyday happy to go to work, which I think is most important. It isn't something that negatively impacts my life, but something that brings excitement and value to it.
Barely any communication within or between teams, but this is the standard that leadership has set.

IDX: 0 TOT: 32
What kind of people succeed at Code and Theory?
People who are willing to do "anything" it takes to get to the top.
Highly intelligent and creative people with great social skills. The mantra at Code is "don't ask permission, ask for forgiveness", meaning if you can hold your own and do great work, the company is always happy to keep elevating the ownership you have over projects. This absolutely needs to be balanced with working collaboratively with teammates, empowering others, and being transparent. Know what you're talking about, don't be boring, care about your work, and execute your way to the top.

2 weeks vacation and you can purchase more days, but if you actually take all those vacation days you will be frowned upon.
