Pros

The developers on the software team were really good people.

Cons

The management of the Trellis product was full of ego. They often committed to get things done for customers just to show off while they took advantage of the team and made them do the impossible amount of work in a very short period of time. The more the developers did, they more they were expected to do. Management announced one day that all developers would need to work at least 50 hours a week with no work from home flexibility. They added that they would not approve vacations for the following 4 months, which happened to be summer time and many of the developers had families.

Pros

Good health insurance (the main reason people stay) Some decent people who are too complacent to leave Salary is decent.... for programmers

Cons

My review comes from an operations point of view working under the executives... Management is messy, unorganized, not cohesive Nepotism is very much alive and well What others have said about quickly hiring & firing.. true Staffing's biggest clients are [REDACTED] - shady companies/organizations. Beware. If you want to sleep well at night knowing you are doing good work for good people this is not the place for you. They act like culture is such a big deal and that you're part of a "Blackstone Family" but just like every corporation they don't care about you at all and will drop you at the hint of any pushback or if you aren't the "Yes" person they wanted ...You are expected to be subservient and do what they tell you to but rarely are able to give adequate or coherent direction Tell you to be "proactive" but don't give you anything to really be proactive about WAY too many chairs - SF office design is atrocious The oversaturated beige walls and floors are depressing and gross Empty bookshelves everywhere... why? Again, terrible interior design President of the company is a very selfish man who cares of nothing but his bottom line, thinks health insurance is enough to make employees happy when all it does is make people afraid to leave, lest their loved ones fall ill... Fear is no way to manage a business President has zero interest in putting money back into the employees, they see employees as dollar signs, products The software developers work on a program that probably hurts the environment [OPINION]

Pros

Great location and average pay. Great snacks and sodas in fridge. Small firm with employees that are dedicated to deliver and over deliver in becoming more than just a worker bee.

Cons

No diversity No strategic focus Nano manger as CEO Limited client portfolio Employees expected to pay for their own travel and be reimbursed (hold on tight to receipts) Low employee morale High attrition Poor leadership No 401k match Company egregiously tries to take advantage of being mistaken as BLACKSTONE Capital and leverage in their name Staff augmentation business model

I see from your review that you did not have a positive experience at Blackstone. I plan to look further into the areas you have commented on and see how both myself and the team can improve.
