Pros

Nice location in Manhattan. Only a few people work there full time so you build solid relationships with the people you work with excluding the CEO.

Cons

Promises are never kept. Hours are crazy. Maximum salary is 25-30K to start. CEO is in the office two to three times a week. Projects are mediocre and usually outsourced to somewhere else. Developers leave the company as soon as they find something better. Talent comes in and leaves within months and I did so as well. You have to argue and fight for a raise when you are doing all the work and the CEO only cares for himself. They consider $100 dollars additionally to your paycheck a HUGE raise. Basically, this company seems like a playground for the CEO to self promote himself when his employees are the ones thats running the company.

Appetizer Mobile Response

We appreciate honest and credible feedback from employees and interns as there's always room to grow and improve. In this case however, your comments and claim to be a former project manager for our business are false. We currently either continue to work with and have very positive relationships with all former project managers. Our entry level salaries are much higher than what you claim and can be proven by the monthly pay stubs you would have received if you had been employed by us. Additionally, all of our company's work is performed domestically in one of our offices. Our CEO is an extremely hard working and dedicated entrepreneur who puts the company first. He's the last one to leave the office late at night and is accessible 24/7 to employees and clients. If you actually worked in our office as an employee you would have noticed that as well. The CEO has provided great leadership and direction for the business all while maintaining a creative entrepreneurial company culture. It's a shame that you feel the need to try to hurt our reputation with inaccurate falsified information. We hope you can find more constructive ways to spend your time in the future.

Pros

- Team members and supervisors are laid back and have a high level of trust for their interns - Solid client portfolio with some very reputable names - Very flexible with scheduling, no micro-management - Overall a great company to get hands-on experience if you're just starting off in your career - Direct access to the CEO, who is super friendly and great to work with

Cons

- COVID has made all operations go remote, which makes collaboration across teams a little difficult - Compensation (though the learning experience is well worth the trade-off)
