Pros
-Free food - can't beat it! -New-ish swanky office. I love the look and feel of the place. -Competitive Pay...but not when broken down to working 70+ hours/week -Benefit package is generous with even a gym membership -Some cool co-workers who have now become good friends
Cons
-Very unfulfilling work. Management acts like we are the biggest thing in town when in fact we sell ads online and our company as a whole has been a "tech startup" for like 10 years I was told. -Everyone speaks one way with the larger group and a lot of head nodding, but reveals their true colors when broken up to individuals. Most are all just trying to grab as many shares of the company as possible before most burn out and leave. Often spin this as "using the LockerDome to get my career jump started". Even the original CTO and most of the original people have left. It's just a shell of its former self. -Everyone claims to work super hard, but no real accountability. Many play on their phones and/or walk around Washington Avenue for extended periods. This has created a culture of "secretive" laziness. When hired, they claim to have no required stop time and unlimited PTO for working there which is disguised as a perk, but its a trap. There is an unspoken culture REQUIREMENT of working 70+ hours per week. In response, people put in the time of sitting there, but not the effort. -Unfortunately, nepotism exists here too. Family members get a quicker than normal promotion (despite recent events) and tightly integrated with both the CEO and CTO. -Speaking of CEO - Gabe Lozano wrote a 50 page GlassDoor review (look it up) because he was so upset about ONE bad previous response from a co-worker. As this shows in a nutshell, he is both very passionate and very reckless. He and other leaders are often difficult to have a real conversation with and often very condescending when approached with ideas. This has created a culture of fear. -Be VERY cautious - this company is slowly sinking. The numbers "claim" we are profitable, but this is misleading.
