Pros

Between the fantastic downtown location, and the genuinely great coworkers, gudTECH is a great place to be. The CEO and CTO have a great vision, and treat all employees equally with fairness and tremendous respect. The employees are genuine, positive, hardworking individuals who love what they do. Many opportunities to network with other tech companies through meetups hosted by the company. The product itself is very innovative, and interesting to work with. Management is great to work with, understands work/life balance, family life, etc. Overall, very happy to be working at gudTECH.

Cons

Sometimes the hours can be a bit long, depending on the department. Beyond that, nothing else comes to mind.

Pros

Small company so there's lots of opportunity if you're willing to be flexible. Great way to get a foot in the door. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Great coworkers.

Cons

Pay is low. Employee management is mostly absent. Engineering drives the business but is unwilling to set any deadlines for work, which adversely affects the entire business.

Thank you for your feedback, and apologies for the delay in responding. As a lean startup with a frankly enormous feature set, we bit off a pretty enormous challenge, and we have learned a great any lessons along the way. (Some lessons came easier than others.) One of these lessons is how to structure and balance external constraints with the "measuring coastlines" nature of software development. We're still not quite where we want to be, but we've made a lot of positive changes on the basis of this sort of constructive criticism, and for that I thank you. Best Regards, Daniel Norman, CTO and co-founder daniel@gudtech.com

Pros

None. Maybe a downtown location.

Cons

Worst experience I've ever had a tech company. Daniel Norman as CTO gets hung up on all sorts of shiny new objects (like the the blunt animal sculpture in his office). Offices are shabby, pay and benefits are skimpy, and CTO hires family members to do his bidding, including one family member (a fulltime employee) who engages in cyberstalking. She likes to 'research' into former employees and boast to the office about what she has found about their personal lives. A den of vipers.
