      Pros

      Really nice espresso machine and snacks

      Cons

      Management is always contradicting themselves. What applies to a manager will not apply to an employee, expect S*&! to roll down hill 10x. Expect your hard work to be told it's not good enough or to be told you're one step from being fired for going above and beyond the job description. Project models will change from weekly, to daily, to hourly and nothing done/programed will be fast enough or good enough.

      All employees, from management on down, are held to the same rules and standards. It's unfortunate that you didn't enjoy your time at Netgate, but wish you the very best.

      Challenging but rewarding

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The owners really seems to care about their employees. Most employees are friendly and good natured. No one minds helping anyone else when it comes to problems, even across departments. Good company culture with snacks, drinks and a great coffee machine. Fun parties sprinkled throughout the year and general positive outlook keeps morale relatively high.

      Cons

      The work can be tedious and fast paced. You'll be expected to wear many hats and come up with your own SOPs to document what you're doing. Management can sometimes be a bit micromanaging and often lacks tact when dealing with employees. Not a lot of growth opportunities within the company. Once you're in a position there's not a lot of other places to move, and very few supervisory or lead positions are available.

      Toxic with a Capital T

      Pros

      Contributor-level people (especially the developers) are good

      Cons

      Co-founders control everything, behind closed doors. CTO is a curmudgeon with a cruel streak, won't hesitate to berate and belittle people in front of others, and relishes firing people. CEO is mean as a snake in private, and would rather fire someone than talk to them. They do the very minimum required by law, which means no severance, no stake in the company, no salary reviews.

      Netgate adheres to all required employment laws and our employees enjoy annual raises and bonuses which are communicated to them through both formal and informal salary reviews. We also make special efforts to ensure our salary tiers are in-line with national averages while our bonuses and salary increases are typically above national averages. Our open door policy allows communication with all levels of management at all times and we also have monthly All Hands meetings where company information and planning are shared with all employees. We regret that you were unable to find satisfaction during your employment at Netgate and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
