Pros

Can't think of a single pro working at gudTech.

Cons

Low compensation coupled with ridiculous expectations on performance when given extremely vague implementation requirements. This was all while working under Daniel Norman: the absolute worst manager I have ever had.

I'm sorry to hear that you had a difficult time. Although we've done a lot with the very small funding we've brought on board up to this point, the constraints on a lean startup can be quite challenging. We indeed had made a lot of mistakes, a lot of missed opportunities, a lot of specifications that could have been much more detailed, plans which could have been more thought out, and customers in need of key features on tight timelines. I'm not sure what year you were with us, but we've since made great strides to improve our development environment, project planning, and testing systems. As you likely know from our 1-1s, I care a hell of a lot (perhaps even to a weird degree) about fostering a genuinely positive environment, free from the disingenuousness, passive-aggression, and tribalism that is so common in many tech organizations. In my view, honesty, patience, respect, and emotional-intelligence are crucial enabling factors for a healthy work environment. With this in mind, we might not always get things right, but we sure do hear criticism, and we assimilate it. Thank you, 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.

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.
