While many of them are very nice, senior and middle management is terribly inexperienced and even the ones who do have some experience seem to be terribly lacking in real management skills. Any great managers they have had have been pushed out or left. Due to the lack of real management there isn't any uniformity to how employees are treated. The company is very cliquey, and so the ones who happen to be in the boys club get a lot of special treatment, raises, seem to always be on vacation, and even if they are completely incompetent in their position, they will still promote them or move them instead of getting rid of them. If you are a woman, you are pretty much guaranteed to not have much growth, and if you do manage to move up, you will absolutely regret it and will get pushed out without any warning. Senior management micro-manages everything. Unlimited PTO works out really well for very few. Most of the time you are just working through your vacation or not getting it approved since none of your vacation days actually belong to you. People bring their dogs to work and there doesn't seem to be any governance on how well behaved they should be. Plus there is no limit on how many dogs can be in the office at the same time so often if feels like you work in a dog kennel and it can be very distracting. They also pee all over the office.

It's a growing company. There are quite a bit of things that aren't as well established as they could be. If you don't like working somewhere that what is expected of you day to day may occasionally be a little vague, don't work here.
