Pros

- Good People - Flexible Hours - Casual Environment

Cons

- Poor managment - CEO doesnt follow their own policies (both as far as internal operating procedures, referred to as "Dean Specials" as well as company handbook policies, ex.: dating your direct reports) - Shifting responsibilities instead of replacing lost staff - Managment would constantly ask for feedback for new business to better improve workflows but then would brush off any suggestions actually offered.

Pros

Great group of people. Very friendly, open environment and everyone is enthusiastic about the high quality solutions we create.

Cons

No major cons I can think of. There did seem to be an unusually high turnover of full time employees in the recent months, but could just be a coincidence, didn't see a reason culture-wise for people to be moving to other companies.

Pros

The people - Very likeable group of people that I enjoy spending time with in and outside of work. Many talented individuals willing to invest their time and share their knowledge with you no matter how green you might be. The extras - How do you beat a fridge full of beer? You can't! Free lunch once a week. Fun team building activities. Summer Fridays, getting out at 12:30 to start the weekend is a great feeling. The location - I personally am glad Wakefly is not located in that traffic hell called Boston. The opportunities - Have a great business idea or an idea for a fun team building activity? Just bring it up. The management at Wakefly is willing and able to implement any idea that makes sense.

Cons

The pay - From everything that I have heard, seen and experienced the salaries are at the low end of the market. They try to make up for with all of the extras mentioned above. The changes - Wakefly is constantly changing. I get agency life is fast paced, but I feel like the structure and strategies change here more than normal. It seems sometimes the need to be cutting edge outweighs fully thought out ideas. That being said it does make Wakefly an interesting place to work. I'm rarely bored here.
