Pros
There were a few pros to working at this company. Some of the people there were very kind, genuine, and wanted to work. In a city with limited technology jobs it was one of a handful. Several quick raises. The products that they provide, functionally, are good. They are always looking for someone to work there. Lastly it was experience that stood out on a resume.
Cons
From the beginning they will start you at a salary that would make you laugh. They make promises of you having the ability to rise high in the organization quickly, because they are a start up (founded 2000). The ability to rise in the organization is strongly related to them being able to keep employees there. Ha. Any lateral movement across functions in the company is practically impossible unless it is to sales. The owners ignore giving employees empowerment. The CEO will blame you first before taking responsibility for his mistakes. Their ping pong table, that I had to walk around every day to get in the door, was only used as a recruiting ploy. You would get in trouble for playing on it even during a break. Management would not confirm that I worked there and would not talk to me or return my calls after I left making it difficult to prove I worked there.
