Good place to start a career. Bad place to stay long. Ugly place to learn professional standards and good habits. - Anonymous employee Liferay Employee Review

Pros

A lot of good people are great to work with and are memorable. I had the best co-workers.

Cons

Horrible manager - sucked at his job. didn't know jack squat. Horrible pay - in the name of God let's tried to be slick and pay people poorly. Horrible founders - all 5 claimed to be Christians but actions and no actions speak louder than words. Horrible policies and procedures - wait, there isn't a lot and even if there was it was bendable by the founders. oh wait, if they find out, let's blame it on everyone else or don't admit. Horrible leadership - you can't teach the arrogant, the stubborn, the stupid. in other words, they think they know it all and everyone else is beneath them. Horrible resource management - enough said. they suck at it. no org chart for at least 7 years don't know about now. the list can go on and on.

Pros

Been a while since I was there. But it was legitimately an amazing culture. I feel like this being my first job set the bar really high for what a work culture could be like. Christmas gifts. Summer Fridays. Team game sessions. It was awesome. And the people there were really friendly. They also gave bonuses for good performance, which from my experience weren’t hard to get. Starting as a Tester, it wasn’t hard to move up if you showed promise. The work was challenging enough to let you grow without overwhelming you. And it was easy to move up if you proved yourself.

Cons

Low pay starting out as a Tester. Like a few dollars above what I could have been making at a McDonald’s. They brought in young and inexperienced people though so we weren’t as concerned as we should have been. This was pretty much solely for complete beginners in the field. And the pay really reflected that. But even if you proved you could do the work and do it well, the pay ceiling was still painfully low. The pay pretty much was the only thing that stopped this from being the perfect job in my experience. Then they let go of almost all of QA one day. From what I hear it’s an entirely different company now.
