      Smoke & Mirrors

      Pros

      For the most part, your coworkers (non-upper management) are great and some of the best people you'll ever meet. The team building events and free lunches are nice.

      Cons

      Forget about getting paid what would be considered market value. The longer you're there, the farther you are from what you should be getting paid. The company is super stingy about giving titles and raises and would rather hire out. When you bring this up as a concern, they basically tell you that they don't want you there anyways. Upper management is the perfect example of smoke and mirrors. They tell you what they think you want to hear and make everything seem like it's great. This company doesn't give out annual bonuses and instead tries to sell it's profit sharing plan which is a joke. The distribution of profit share units is absurd and despite your length of tenure, it will never change. They constantly make up excuses and refuse to provide visibility. They want to be part of every discussion and email you at all times of the day, yet have very little to offer in terms of moving projects forward. The HR department is a joke and completely disconnected from the team. They'll spend more time drinking wine than trying to solve the company's problems or at the very least, listen to it's employees and take their concerns seriously.

      I want to thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. It is so nice to hear that you appreciate your former teammates and you want to make a better place for them. Thanks for your advice as well. We have rolled out a survey to help make sure we address not only your feedback but all of our current employees as well. The Profit Sharing Units (PSU’s) you mention were supposed to emulate an annual Bonus to show our success from the most recent fiscal year and change upon promotion. But that does not excuse us from the fact that it was not clear and descriptive. We want open communication that allows clear, immediate, and noticeable change. Thank you for the feedback, and we hope to keep the changes positive for our employees moving forward. - Natasha, HR Generalist

      Pros

      the people: office staff, coworkers, and leads

      Cons

      the management. The CEO is alright, but those levels in between the team leads and him lack of career growth

      It is great to see that you enjoy our coworkers and leads! We do understand about career growth. As a smaller company we find that there are a few gaps for the next step in someone’s career. As we keep growing and with an emphasis on employee goals we hope to create bridges to get our employees to keep growing with us. We appreciate your feedback, and always feel free to reach out to me if you have any other thoughts or suggestions! - Natasha, HR Generalist

      Cool technology, bad management

      Pros

      You used to get to work on pretty neat projects - as an agency you rarely got bogged down in maintenance mode, build it then hand it off, move on. Non-mgt people are great, everyone there wants to see it succeed Unsure if they still do, but they would feed us a lot, which was a nice perk

      Cons

      You can never progress in salary or responsibility. The only promotions that occurred during my tenure required a massive personal sacrifice. Often management would be refuse to grant authority, but just expect you to 'get it done' Also, they will overwork you with the ever present threat of being let go. Nothing enjoyable about spending hundreds of extra hours working and MAYBE getting a comp day (if you're lucky) They'll move you around and expand your workload and expect you to smile and say 'thank you sir, may I have another'
