Pros

ContangoIT is a company for techs that want to grow. Growth, Growth, Growth. There is always something new to learn. The CEO (Danny Mizrahi), will provide the tools you need to fuel your growth. As long as you are hungry to learn, there is no limit to what you can accomplish from a technical standpoint and as a byproduct, an effective communicator with people who do not understand technical things!

Cons

The only con is the internal organizational structure of the company.

Pros

Frequent happy hours & work retreats Laid back atmosphere A chance to work with very diverse technology Free lunch every Friday Knowledgeable, generally friendly technicians

Cons

The atmosphere is TOO laid back, bordering (and often times crossing) into the unprofessional. It's not uncommon to have upper management come over and publicly yell or berate you in full view of co-workers, in front of clients or in emails with everyone in the company CC'd on it. There's a difference between speaking with full transparency and speaking with tact and candor and it seems Contango IT doesn't know the difference.

For a one star review I'm super happy with all the positives here!! The pros section is great. The fact that I ("businessman-first" Danny) is running the company, unlike a lot of competitors of ours with "tech-only-first" experience is probably why we were placed as #2422 on the Inc. 5000, fastest growing companies in America list. Also why we have won Corporate Culture Awards and 50 fastest growing companies in NY award! The fact that my Partner and CTO, Pat, can answer "any" question is accurate and amazing!!! How awesome is that?! Yes, sometimes he has to ask people to figure it out on their own, that's the downside of having a lot of answers but still a huge positive so thank you!! As far as some inaccuracies in your review, there are a few. For one you are definitely not a current employee working for us for 10 years (lol). We are about to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and there are only a few people here that have been here close to that long. This review is not from any of those people without a doubt. How do I know this? Because no one would say these things about leaving and stay, the job market is way too good! I would also absolutely encourage anyone with these feelings to leave without any hard feelings or burning bridges whatsoever. It's all good! Life is too short to be unhappy with us nerds. The fact is, we've had ONE person in 10 years "leave for greener pastures," which is extremely subjective and debatable. That was a bummer and we learned from it for sure. Anyone else not with our company was let go. So that means either A) you were that one person two years ago and you don't seem so happy, if that's the case we thought you were awesome and love to have you back or B) you were let go and I'm sorry it didn't work out. Lastly, as far as business-first Danny selling projects that are underscoped, you are again clearly mistaken. 1) the consultants scope and create every single project, I literally have never done that and 2) we have a 95 percent success rate in coming UNDER budget on projects, maybe even higher than that! I will say that I apologize if you felt that we were too unprofessional for you. That's a surprising statement and I guess a byproduct of having a fun culture (see pros section). I welcome additional conversations on this from readers or the writer. You know where to find me, still no hard feelings and we can chat it out over a drink or 3. I wish you all the best in everything you do!
