Pros

Location, Benefits (once they kick in), Good PTO, Summer Friday’s. Bonus structure was recently created.

Cons

Extreme micro management. Manage with fear. Training is ‘sink or swim’ and made to feel like you will look bad if you ask for help or don’t know or recall something. Management and certain off-sight employees act as if they are superior to on sight employees. Work load is extreme and you are expected to be available almost all day and well into the evening and weekends. No work life balance. Reviews aren’t taken seriously in terms of actually having them annually, therefore resulting in delay in the minimal raises and decrease in moral. No loyalty to employees. Management will make you feel disposable. There is zero career development, even when asking for it. Most feedback is negative, not a lot of build up. Newer COO has made some changes like bonus and raises that were nonexistent for a while. But had Poorly executed a remodel that was designed to look like Google. It went from having space to pretty much sitting on top of each other on what looks like IKEA desks. Lots of empty space while employees have yell over each other while working, due to such unnecessary proximity of each other. Basic Remodel started in November of 2018 and still not complete with tape on the carpets and unfinished areas, meanwhile the COO is knocking down a wall in his already oversized office to make it even larger with custom furniture delivered regularly. Things like this shows the lack of care for the comfort and happiness of employees. There are no real company updates or ‘Town Hall’ meetings. The last min TH meetings are nothing but last min announcements and not info on the company. Overall, this is not a good atmosphere to work in. Over worked and extremely under appreciated!

Pros

If you want to witness the ugliest side of workplace politics, you can work here. It is unbelievably toxic, and the people are unbearable.

Cons

– I am certain this was one of the worst work experiences imaginable. Employees were forced to work brutally long and exhausting hours just to chase impossible deadlines. – The number of responsibilities kept growing every single day. The demands never stopped increasing until employees completely burned out or finally quit. – Another thing I hated was the disgusting internal politics. Employees were expected to to compete against each other just to prove their worth whenever a senior role became vacant. – It created extreme hostility and pushed people to lie shamelessly and betray their colleagues without hesitation. - Even after giving 110%, there was still no guarantee of financial or career growth here. So keep your expectations painfully low when you join and do not expect anything good to happen.
