Avantages
Smoothstack has been a great choice for me so far. As a non-traditional programmer without a college computer science degree, I have found it difficult to break in to the industry. While I lack a degree, I have been programming from the age of 12. I am a competent developer who can hold my own but other companies weren't willing to give me a chance to prove myself. Where others saw inexperience, Smoothstack saw potential. They helped to foster my talents and get me in front of companies where I could finally prove myself. Thanks to Smoothstack I am now working full time as a Software Developer at a large company. Without Smoothstack I don't know how I ever would have entered this profession.
Inconvénients
It would be nice to get a few more paid vacation days.
