Pros

DEV are a nonprofit coop, and this translates into our way of working and our values. Everyone in the team is really supportive, and always looking for ways to make the team/company better.

Cons

Non-hierarchical, lots of remote/distributed working, quite production focused (agency life) so difficult for people who struggle with changing structures etc.

Pros

Lots of holiday Friendly staff “Feel good projects”

Cons

Expected amount of work is intense Projects aren’t scoped well, leading to developers having to pick up the slack No one seems to have the will to tell clients “no” when their asks go beyond initial scope Pay isn’t terrible, but not great either

Pros

As a not-for-profit co-op everything we do is for the same aim, to be the best digital agency for the third sector. Everyone has shared ownership of what this looks like and although we disagree on the how sometimes it's always with the best intentions. This is the first place where I've experienced management being their to support their works do great work rather than just telling them what to do. The difference it makes in the day to day running and how it build a positive environment can not be understated.

Cons

This shape of company is very rare but we're still a digital agency and combining the 2 isn't easy and can cause issues. We also have a tendency to reinvent the wheel because people are always trying to do what's best. Perfect is the enemy of good is a phase that best describes it.
