Pros

a few good people on the teams

Cons

I felt that I was discriminated against due to my race, and the fact that I brought up concerning behavior/actions by the CEO and in the company culture. They also kept the performance bonus I earned, because the GM didn't like that I was leaving his team. The CEO blew off my concerns when I attempted to ask him how it was fair. I would avoid this company if you're a person of color or seek a work place that is fair to all levels of workers. Leadership/management on the engineering team is constantly changing. Extremely high expectations and stress, along with minimal support/encouragement/compensation. Engineers constantly leaving/being fired. As long as Dave Blake and Jason Hagens run this company, I do not believe it'll be a good place to work.

Pros

Get it done type mentality. Very mature business for a mid-size business; the sale process and engineers all work well together!

Cons

Tech requires an always learning mindset. Not an easy thing to get excited about.

Pros

So much potential. People have fun. Sometimes drinks at the office. Most are smart people.

Cons

Leadership is corrupt and manipulative. Just read the "stuffed" reviews! The CTO is in with the owner/CEO. And we all think the owner wrote the most recent review for coverups. Just look at the CTO and what's probably the owner talking about even the cons are great?! Everyone is watching and listening for distrust and backstabbers. The work isn't fun and feel bad for some users on the other end. Its all about $$ for a few. It's not right and people are afraid to talk about it with anyone above. Everyone knows and there are a few great managers and people. Don't get me wrong about most of the engineers but is so messed up to have to hide this review because it's such a small office. A few employees thought this needed to be posted. We will see if it is helpful!
