Cons
Poor benefits: 2 weeks/year earned PTO that does NOT roll over and will NOT be reimbursed if unused. 12 WFH days/year. Expensive health insurance, company does not cover HSA administration fee. None matching 401K with poor portfolio.
Poor amenities: Bad furniture, office offers no coffee, drinking water is dirty, bad WiFi, bad temperature regulation. Uncomfortable in colder days.
No career advancement: With only 13 people in the company, there is no career path. The company also avoids giving raise/bonus
Lack of focus: There is no specific product that the company is an expert of, most projects are pieced together with various technologies/solutions. While the company claims it is technology agnostic but it's really lack of domain knowledge.
Management/culture: Deceptive to employees and tries to avoid responsibility/accountability. When things don't go as expected management will point blame at others. There is no structure and process to the company, everything is ad hoc based. The technology expert/lead derails every meeting/discussion and over complicate simple tasks/projects.
