Pros

- Great base level employees - Nicer Office and Location right by the train - The ability to appreciate other jobs in comparison - The product is cool

Cons

Do not believe the promises that are told to you in the interview you will not be there long enough to see anything come true most likely. The turn over is significant for such a small company, people are fired, burnt out, and treated poorly consistently. (They are a small company you will be expected to tell clients that Goliath is much bigger and influential than they are) The CEO is extremely focused on what is good for him, he makes tons of promises and delivers on very few of them. The management team is sycophants and are terrified of the CEO which they should be as he would fire them in a second if he was unpleased with him. The management team tends to steal the good ideas from the employees and pawn them off on their own and blame the employees when something is wrong. CEO will hire and fire people at whim constantly demanding 10-12 hour days on a constant basis as he lives in the office sometimes literally. He expects the same of you even if you are not getting paid what you deserve. While I worked there people that worshipped the CEO from previous companies were brought it, and then other people were fired. I saw in my year there atleast one person per month be let go, I would say 85% of them were amazing employees who produced great work. Other than the CIO (came from an old company of the CEO surprise see a pattern) it seems that women don't last long at Goliath as of the 6 women in the office 4 were let go in one year. One day you will be praised the next you are being belittled. I could go on about the poor experience that I and the rest of the real reviews below however you most likely see the pattern in the reviews. Avoid this company, alot of promises will be made, but trust me you will regret it.

The interview process is a great opportunity to test these issues. What is turnover like? How many employees have been with the company for more than a year? How many employees have celebrated life milestones such as engagements, marriages, or having children while working here? You can also ask to speak with other employees or executives. Goliath has a proven track record of success and record growth year after year thanks to our team members. The executive team is accountable to each other and to the employees with quarterly updates based on promised goals, not just achievements. None of this would be possible in the environment described above.

Pros

Working closely with small teams. Leadership is highly involved and engaged. The company has executed on a vision that will allow us to leverage where the market is going.

Cons

It's not a huge company so there is a lot for each person to tackle, but that also makes it fun.

Pros

Relatively quick application and hiring process

Cons

I was fired on my first day after moving to Philadelphia for the job after trying to clarify my job expectations with my boss. After overhearing my team complaining about all the overtime they had been working, I met with my boss to discuss how much overtime I should anticipate since I already commute an hour each way, have pets at home I’d have to coordinate care for, and didn’t know overtime was expected. I didn’t insinuate that I didn’t want to work overtime, just that it wasn’t mentioned during my interviews so I was caught off guard hearing my coworkers all talking about it. I was fired on the spot. So if you care about work/life balance, and even if they tell you during interviews that they also care about work/life balance, know that that’s not really the case. Also know that simply asking questions may cost you your job.
