Good place to work - Software Developer Aeon Nexus Employee Review

OK - I have been with this company for just under two years. Before I started, I saw both positive and negative reviews on glassdoor. Once I interviewed I realized the negative reviews reflected a time when middle management was doing things wrong and causing chaos - but those people were already gone. IMHO, this is a great place to work if you are flexible, self-reliant, and like the small company atmosphere. Business is booming, yet the work ebbs and flows - sometimes I put in 50-60 hours - of my own volition - and sometimes I have plenty of time to study for certifications - which the company encourages and pays for. People starting out here are provided with a decent salary - starting salaries are ok, but the fact is, if they perform, they are recognized and given regular raises. They also have ample opportunity to deal directly with clients and gain experience that they wouldn't get at other companies in the same role. Right now, we have such an awesome culture - everyone works together, no one says "not in my job description", and there aren't any politics - everyone is willing to help one another rather than stepping on others to get ahead. There are so many business opportunities for a small company, I think our future is very bright. The culture is just awesome. Words that come to mind: transparent, nimble, and fast-paced. Beyond that, the office and location are top-notch; we work with great tech; we work hard and play hard. I can't say enough positive things about the place.

The money could be better - but it could ALWAYS be better no matter what company we are talking about - small companies need to achieve a balance and I think this company is doing that.

- I met some really nice people while working there. Unfortunately, since this company is a revolving door of faces, they didn't stay long.

- Toxic culture stemming from CEO. - Extremely dysfunctional from internal operations through customer delivery. - Employees are bullied and verbally abused on a regular basis by the CEO. - Lies, lies, and more lies from the CEO. Lies to employees and customers alike. No integrity whatsoever. - CEO and COO are married with no HR department to protect employees from abusive behavior of CEO. - CEO only cares about image. Misrepresents credentials and past work of company. - Impulsive decisions that are not made in a logical manner. Seems that the CEO's ego is primary factor when making decisions that impact both employees and customers. - Employees are blamed when they can’t deliver on the CEO’s unrealistic promises to customers. - Scapegoating is the primary preoccupation of the CEO. Rather than fix problems of his own creation, he will look for others to blame so that he doesn’t have to take responsibility. - CEO will try to besmirch the reputations of former employees so he can use them as scapegoats and because he fears what will be said about him. - So many former employees, customers, vendors, and partners have been burned by the CEO and his wife, the COO, that it can be embarrassing to work at this company.
