Pros

They buy everyone lunch everyday Compensation

Cons

The owners are smart guys but they are analysts with very little business sense. They switch people around in roles without having a prior conversation and then expect the person to take on new huge responsibilities, while still being held accountable for the original role. The "flexible" hours benefit is that you can work from home, but you'll find yourself putting in 12 hour days due to a large part of the company operating out of Romania. The CEO is a micromanager and there is a ton of turnover.

Pros

The culture at Cognetik was fantastic. Catered lunches, work from home flexibility and team building activities were great - but the PEOPLE that I worked with really made it a great place to be. Everyone I met and interacted with was highly intelligent, hard working, empathetic and understanding. Not to mention - from the founders to the data analysts - this is a company of TRULY smart people. I was inspired by the work they did every day.

Cons

during my time there ( a period of high growth ) a few missteps occurred that could have been avoided with better planning. however - hindsight is always 20/20
