Pros

finally spending some of their VC funding new CEO is 100x better than old CEO Holocracy is dead. Toxic ring-leader gone Long-term contracts with big clients means this business will continue to do well in the near-term CEO has a good vision on how to scale the business

Cons

Wilmington office is just a huge mistake. Old CEO just wanted to live near his sale boat. Company culture not conducive to separate offices. Horrible experiment with Holocracy. This is ended at last The technical debt of their 'platform' is an astonishing mess. All development effort was spent on shiny new car without fixing the fundamental problems. The office layout is terrible. Work there long enough and you begin to get used to it though.

Pros

I like the people I work with and there is a large degree of flexibility on time and working from home as needed. Little to no travel at this level and I've enjoyed working for my bosses and feel like I can have frank conversations with them. The owner and CEO are down-to-earth and the company is still small enough that everyone knows your name.

Cons

They are transitioning to a large company mentality where individual contributions are minimized and things like "company values" are injected into our speech. It feels corporate and too tied-up to function comfortably.

Pros

The flexible and high-growth environment is terrific. The development teams use a variety of different technologies, such as AngularJS, Ruby on Rails, and Clojure. There was recently a hack week, where devs got to work on basically anything they wanted with an emphasis towards solving business problems. It's refreshing to know that each individual has a direct impact on how his/her team functions and what tech stack is used for projects. There is also a definite interest in the cutting-edge, and everyone is encouraged to pursue learning opportunities. It is awesome to come into work everyday and work with talented individuals who are open-minded and looking to learn and grow.

Cons

There are constant issues related to the legacy systems that have been built many years ago without proper maintenance and migrations towards newer versions, tech, and simpler architecture. There are talks to progressively replace different parts over time, but working with these systems can oftentimes be frustrating and time-consuming.
