Pros

Great people, interesting technology, fun enviornment

Cons

My entire time at UniKey felt like a state of emergency and the culture strongly encourages sacrificing your personal life to "make it happen". Never once did I feel like I had the environment and support needed to effectively do my job or grow in my career. Everything was always just a scramble. UniKey is a company ripe with opportunity. They're at the right time and right place in the market and I think they will see success, but that success will be built on the continuing sacrifices of employees who stand to gain very little from it.

Pros

Great team, Work from home days, lenient hours, pets allowed, fully stocked kitchen, Unlimited Vacation, Opportunity to try new things and bring new ideas to the table

Cons

No specific work hours so it's a little grey on when the day starts and when it ends

Pros

The concept and the technology are interesting and cutting edge. Incredible talent density and some of the nicest people I have ever worked with.

Cons

Since January the QA manager has left, two of the most senior web engineers have left, the project manager left, the last remaining co-founder has left and is contacting everyone trying to sell his shares, the COO resigned yesterday for "family reasons" and the company delayed everyones paycheck last week due to "best practices" which makes absolutely no sense. Several people did not know about the "best practice" payroll change announcement until their paycheck didn't show up on time because it was never communicated in writing ahead of time. We did get paid today thank God. To date nobody has been hired to replace any of the people that have left which has caused even more concerns about the company finances. I would sum it up as the wild west where the managers are in over their head and don't know how to run a business. There is no structure or consistency in what is expected day to day. It's a shame because there is so much opportunity and the people are so nice and get along so well. The atmosphere in the office is pretty defeated, feels like a sinking ship.
