Pros

There are a lot of good people who work there. You will have the opportunity to learn a lot. BYOD is nice.

Cons

Management is at times very unorganized. Dev teams are best described as cliques and can be very unwelcoming. Expect to work long hours, I remember many times working into the following morning / weekend. Lack of communication to employees. Never hit that 4 day work week goal :(

We attempt to provide an environment that is exciting, challenging and empowering. It is however not for everyone. In this case, based on this reviewer’s negative commentary, it is likely best they moved on so they can find fulfillment in their career. Any organization that is built around collaborative teams will develop work habits and patterns that could appear “cliquish” to an outsider or newcomer. It is incumbent on the team to welcome and embrace new members; however, it is also incumbent on teammates to “earn” their spot on the team. This is based on both pure skill sets but also includes social skills and communication. And long work hours are part of a dynamic, high-energy, growth environment. Especially when developing new capabilities/products on a tight time schedule. In terms of the other comments: management prides itself on giving employees the tools necessary to do their job. The comment regarding the desk chair clearly did not come from senior management. And lastly, the 4-day work week was always presented as a journey, not a destination. It was about working smarter not harder. Again, we never like to see anyone leave the company. But, in this case it seems like it is in the best interests of the author and we sincerely hope they find a workplace that meets their expectations. -Jeff Gaus
