Pros

Small, close-knit team, very vibrant place to work because of the people working there. High emphasis on work life balance, fun lunches together!

Cons

Management is weak and does not have a strong people- or communication- focus. Employee performance is largely overlooked when making staffing decisions on projects and teams and exemplary employees are treated with equal disregard as poor performing employees.

Pros

Flat organization with an enabling feel. A great place to transition from entry level to an experienced business person-- in UX, Project Management, etc.

Cons

Sometimes there is too much talking. Decision making gets too-based on consensus. It leads to some good things, but can feel like a meeting goes _forever_ if there isn't a good scrum master present.

Pros

Untracked PTO Casual work environment Working for a good cause (EMS) The few people that remain in employed with Fisdap are wonderful coworkers

Cons

Small cog in a big machine Senior management is clueless about life Parent company (Ascend Learning / JBL) is an old publishing company out of touch with modern software development Parent company is owned by VC and seeking high margins by acquisitions and merges Parent company management are not genuine Parent company loves hiring H1B and outsourced labor, doesn't offer relocation to domestic talent but will pay Visas for overseas workers. Status: dumpster fire
