Calysto Communications Response

10y

In late 2013, the company discovered that its longtime accountant was misappropriating company funds and was also not paying contractors, something that the owner immediately addressed. Still attempting to recoup those losses a few years later, the company has been largely run on a cash basis. Therefore, contractors get paid as soon as Calysto gets paid by its clients. The owners viewpoint is that its valued contractors always get paid, even when the company has to take a loss.

Pros

Work from home. Flexibility. I am able to be home with my kids.

Cons

There was a short period of time where there was a big turnover in the Financial Department. The turnover caused a lot of issues with record keeping and the consultants getting paid. However, the company has brought in a new staff that have turned everything around and I receive bi-monthly paychecks without an issue.
