👋 Hello Product Hunters! :) Tabspace is the first peer review community for software developers. It accepts anonymous reviews of software development teams from current and former employees, allowing employers and prospective employees to gain quantifiable insights into how engineering teams operate. Here is the problem we had as software engineers and solution we came up with. 👽 Problem No two development teams have the same approach to working. The approaches to developing a product and the interactions between the individuals and teams working on products and services vary enormously from company to company. As developers, we would regularly encounter the following obstacles when surveying the market for new roles: - Vague listing with set of generic requirements and benefits - Technical screening call (0.5 hrs - 1 hr) - Code challenge (3 hrs - 4hrs) These obstacles were all BEFORE we got a chance to speak to the company about the team, the role and the company's approach to engineering. We thought to ourselves - this is a lot of effort. Does this company even suit me? Is it worth investing that effort? 🌟 Solution We invite all developers to take a short, structured survey about their experience in their current and former roles. This explores a number of areas of interest such as the approach to engineering, the day-to-day culture, and career opportunities within the team and across the company. This gives us quantitative insights into the workings of engineering teams. We achieve this through an approach similar to agile planning poker which we're calling review poker. ♠♥ Developers are offered a short series of questions and asked to assign a value to the topics using our poker cards. ♣♦ All data is aggregated and kept ANONYMOUS. We take measures to verify the integrity of the feedback and give you confidence in the insights provided by our reviews. These insights will: - Enable developers to get insights into development teams before they even start the interview process - Help developers research teams & source roles that fit their lifestyle and career goals - Enable comparison between different software engineering teams - Allow teams to identify and action any particular trends or areas of concern and to recognise successes

Wonderful idea, but I had to walk around at least 3-4 pages to understand what Tabspace really does and what is in it for me. I believe the message in "Why" tab should somehow be presented on the homepage. Thanks for the great work!

Great idea and much needed. Looking forward to using it with the team.

Cool idea and well done! It's like https://www.kununu.com/ but for developers. What tech stack did you use?

Very useful app :)

Pros:

User friendly

Cons:

No cons

Just took a peek, i liked it

Pros:

nice design, interesting idea
