Pros

I really enjoyed working with my team and the culture. They've got fun holiday parties, group outings, events, and a fully stocked fridge as well as a gym reimbursement.

Cons

Management lacks interpersonal communication skills. I had one of the worst micro-managers I've ever experienced in my professional career here. The turnover rate for my specific department (sales) was unbelievable. Sales people who later went on to have extended careers at Facebook and LinkedIn (so that right there should tell you something about their value). I constantly felt unappreciated regardless of how hard I worked. I was talked down to and talked over regularly during team meetings by my manager which led me to just remain quiet. I stopped bringing forward ideas for improvement and innovation because he would disagree with me seconds after I opened my mouth. His attitude destroyed creativity and collaboration to the point that I dreaded every meeting and even going into the office. I tried my best to put a smile on and work with him but he single handedly ruined my experience working here. Once I put my two weeks notice in, he didn't even bother talking to me, which I found to be petty, unprofessional, and embarrassing for the company. My next job was a dream compared to this. None of the perks or benefits in the world matter if you don't feel appreciated or valued for your effort. Salary was extremely low. I left and immediately started at over $20k more (again actual individual value vs what this company sees in people). I liked Craig, the CEO, and didn't have any issues with him whatsoever. Very likeable, personable, and enjoyable to talk to. I could tell he cared about people's individual growth. Unfortunately, the only issue was the company keeping this specific traveling sales manager around who they continued to promote up the ranks despite numerous HR complaints against him. Look at the other reviews and the rating on here. They're spot on.

Pros

Getting harder to find pros each day. Most folks work here because they have to, and not out of any desire to.

Cons

This company under-pays, under-supports, and under-delivers. Private equity has strip-mined it down to the studs all while offering carrots on a stick. At this point there is no carrot, you're just hit with a stick. The company is so understaffed that employees are pitted against eachother and scapegoated for failures caused by executive leadership/private equity. If you take time off, you're essentially punished for it - you will not be covered, and will come back to a dumpster fire of a backlog. Leadership talks out of both sides of their mouth. We're somehow doing amazing year over year, but we're also too broke to hand out reasonable compensation or equity in the company, which should give you an idea of where the money is actually going. AI has been embraced, eliminating entry level jobs and while simultaneously lowering the quality of service delivered to customers and clients. Don't waste your time applying here unless you're desperate for money or love a chaotic situation.
