    If your priority is to learn and grow as a software developer, Upstack Studio is for you.
    The good thingsFlexible work setting, friendly yet capable colleagues, an understanding employer who is transparent with the business. Good collaborative practices and coding standards amongst dev. Tons of opportunities to grow from, and exposure to external clients.
    The challengesRemote working is not for everyone, self discipline is important here and workload can get heavy sometimes. Being proactive in communications is crucial.

    The dream of work-life balance
    The good thingsEveryone here is very supportive anytime you reach out to them. We have lots of laugh and fun times but get the job done -- which is hard to come by. The founder treats everyone equally and respect our spaces. As with any startup plus remote work, self-discipline and resourceful are the keys to be productive and successful going through your daily tasks. They take "flexibility" by the word, just communicate your needs.
    The challengesRemote work is hard so you need to pull and check yourself constantly to make sure you get the job done!

    A great place to hone your skills and do meaningful work
    The good thingsAs a person who has not set foot in the software development industry, this company has given me a strong foundation and reliable teammates that can guide me when I face roadblocks. Remote work is a plus to me. Commuting is a waste of time and energy which should be spent on producing meaningful work. Management is transparent and efficient. There are no middle managers who micromanage everything. There is no corporate ladder to climb because the company hierarchy is flat. Salary range is fair and plainly stated upfront according to your skill level and responsibilities.
    The challengesBeing a fully remote company, it can be challenging to motivate yourself if you are the kind of person who recharges your energy from physically being with people around you.

    Employer that actually cares about employees
    The good thingsThe best employer that I have met to date. He actually cares about employee's welfare, listened to my concerns and tried his best to address it. When there are conflict of interests between parties, he will not only side with clients, but step in and negotiate an acceptable solution for all parties. As the whole team is small, everyone knows each other and get along together well. All colleagues are great, friendly and helpful. There is zero politic involved. Work wise, there are good code practices and processes integrated into the development flow, so that it improves the code and product quality. The team is passionate to improve and willing to accommodate changes as long as it is for the better of the whole.
    The challengesThere are times where relatively tight timeline has to be met.
