Pros

Nerf guns are readily available Christian environment

Cons

One-size-fits-all pacakges are great for cash flow, suck at being able to really help clients. Management literally has reminders to communicate with staff. Misogynistic leadership. Very siloed. Genius-Bar working environment. Office is in the middle of nowhere. No ownership of projects. Employees not viewed as people -- just a number of hours and associated dollar signs. Leadership is all over the place and lacks focus. CEO has lots of balls in the air and seemingly lack of focus on any one of them except on specific days.

Pros

I've worked in agencies for over 15 years and never have been on a team like Sharp Innovations. Great communication, room to innovate and grow, mutually respectful work environment. I love the positive attitude everyone in the company has, and how we all work together towards common goals. There is so much freedom in my role that I feel like I'm my own boss. There is a great structure, but no feeling of a corporation or status ladder. Ideas are heard and considered, and our CEO encourages new ideas, fun, and personal growth.

Cons

I really haven't come across any cons after being with the company for almost a year. I'm remote and work out of California and they have been very pro-active about making me feel included and going out of their way to incorporate more connection between the remote team and the in-person team.

Pros

Great friendly people, fast paced work environment, great benefits: matching IRA contributions, 2 weeks vacation available on day 1, 3 weeks after 3rd year, good health plan (ppo)

Cons

lower-than-average salaries for web designers and developers, senior management likes to micro-manage, senior management doesn't grasp concept of production schedules. Budgets are micromanaged and new office amenities and software require a lengthy "approval process" which is mostly used to surf the web and find a cheaper price, and if one can not be found - request is denied. For developers, production schedule is usually 50% or 75% of the estimated time for a project - this is completely arbitrarily decided on in order to make the end-contract price more attractive to clients.
