Pros

Work from home option, flexible management, no micromanaging, I can't find anything else nice to say so I am using this to waste space

Cons

As much as I would like to be unbiased as an HR professional I can't. If I were a company owner I would be very upset with the monetary investment in a system that is not user friendly for most people that the system is designed to work with. 1. System shuts down or has issues frequently (more than other software companies) 2. Sales cares about sales not the consumer, which means you have people who really don't need the system on it, and once they find out they are in this contract they are wasting money on something they will never use 3. There is ZERO staff diversity. Average age of staff is around 25 and less than 3% are minority 4. People are placed in positions even if they are not qualified so job posting means nothing 5. Information is not sent down the chain of command properly unless you are "friendly" so if you are never in office, you never get information

Pros

Great environment- the benefits of having a fun and challenging environment make going to work pretty sweet. I love bringing in my dogs and everyone from the top down

Cons

If you don't want to work hard and be challenged that would be a con for someone.

Pros

Management really cares about you. They want to help you do well in your career and in your personal life. They pay attention to your progress and want to make sure that you stay interested in your work and challenged. Unlimited vacation is a pretty awesome perk. It's great to be able to take time off whenever you feel you need it without the worry of using up your precious "2 weeks". Working hours are also extremely flexible if you ever have errands to run, need to take a kid to the doctor, etc. Mentoring is also a big deal here. They want to invest in their future leaders. I have never heard of a company where the "C"-level execs mingle with the team members. But that is a regular part of life at PeopleMatter. They all try really hard to stay personal with team members and their doors are always open to anyone who needs to talk. The engineering stack is good, and it's constantly improving. There's still room for new ideas - so you won't get bored, but it's also consistent enough that we have a strong set of patterns and a pretty clean codebase. There's also plenty of interesting problems to solve.

Cons

It doesn't seem to matter how awesome a situation can be, someone will always find something to complain about. There are some folks around that like to whine without offering any solutions for improvement - you'll have to learn to stay positive and discourage the naysaying. Housing is pretty expensive in Charleston, although not as bad as a lot of other major cities I suppose. There is also still a lot of silent racism here. Overall it's still a great city to live in though.
