It's been extremely positive. I'm encouraged to pursue problems and issues according to what I'm most interested in. My manager also encourages and provides opportunities for leadership positions as I look for them.

I personally would like to see a 401(k) plan.

The depth of experience that each member of the team brings to the table helps me to trust in their judgement.

The problems that I solve each day, and the opportunity to grow as an individual and as a future leader.

They are all very smart, motivated, and high performers. My team members encourage me to be a better developer & leader each day.

Brilliant people, always pushing me to be better each day. They're all personable, down-to-earth people, and all have a passion for their work.

The culture fostered here at Bento encourages us to speak our mind without fear of repercussion. We all sit in an open seating arrangement, which fosters collaboration. Our management team sit with us, further embedding them into the company's heartbeat.

I really appreciated the take-home coding challenge, which I feel better represents the skills of a programmer than a bunch of whiteboard questions. There were also whiteboard questions later, but at least at that points, the interviewers had seen my real code.

I believe that I'm being compensated very fairly for the industry, when it comes to salary. There isn't an employer-offered 401(k), not to mention a matching program, which is unfortunate. But the free lunch wherever you want every day is a really nice perk.

The executive team comes to the table with SO much relevant experience, which I really appreciate. They approach deals, feature requests, and strategy with level heads, and use data to back decisions, rather than gut feelings. They're always open to feedback from the rest of the company.

Everyone trusts that you're doing your job, and getting your work done, regardless of what schedule you choose. You'll never get a sideways glance for coming in later, or needing to leave earlier. We all trust each other, and want to do whatever we can to help each other.

There are tough challenges that I know will help me to grow as a software engineer, and great opportunities for career growth that continue to stimulate me. I'm excited to get my hands into the code underlying our system, and contribute to the team as we continue to move forward.
