Pros
- Unlimited vacation - Coffee and beer? - Medical, dental, fitness benefits (though the more I was there the more we lost) - Raising desks (cool, they got 3X more than they needed, and they have more and more available as time goes on)
Cons
First of all, when you see lots of low ratings followed by a bunch of 5 star ratings that all sound like the same voice, you know they are doing damage control. I know many people that were pressured in changing their glassdoor reviews or even "unofficially" asked to change if they wanted to get recommendations or get introductions. I think there's a word for that.... So here's some of the things they have had issues with for a long time... When they lacked vision, they just got top heavy. All their money went to more people not knowing what to do with the company or where to take it, just more people to put a spin on things and as months would go by, executive retreats and board meetings and still had no clue what to do. At a time where benefits and people were being cut, the executive team would get MASSIVE raises. Like we're talking the cost of some people's salaries. No appreciation was shown to the people in the trenches. They would hire more where they were failing most (sales) and cut where people were being successful (engineering, product, etc) Lots of promises for meeting big deadlines, hitting milestones and then the "we're just a startup" talk when hoping for something back for working nights and weekends. It's been a while since I worked there, but I still haven't received promises made after putting in my personal time to make sure things were successful with my team. I was so proud of the work I did while I was there despite the constant lack of morale, feeling undervalued and knowing promises would never be kept. It was exhausting and I felt beaten down more than I have my entire career. I know right now they are struggling to meet paychecks, so even if you just really really needed a job, working for free might not be the solution. Keep looking. This place was always run by people who didn't have an idea what the market was looking for and while their employees who were working with the clients would tell them, they would brush it off because it didn't come from a vastly overpaid executive.
