Great software consultancy with growing pains - Anonymous employee Adorable IO Employee Review

I am grateful that I had an opportunity to work at Adorable IO. Everyone there is genuine, friendly and smart. Going to work and being surrounded by such wonderful people made even rough days a little better. Although I was an intern, I was always treated with respect. Throughout the internship, I was given extra responsibilities and had numerous chances to try different things. Not only my supervisor, Jen, but also other coworkers made sure that I was benefiting from the internship and often tried to include me in various projects. Adorable is a great place for interns to learn and grow.

As an intern, I did not find many cons.

The company and specifically the CEO, Jim, has a huge heart and it's put to good use. Between their work with the YWeb program, their conferences, and their general commitment to supporting the community around them, they are making a strong effort to be a positive force in the world. * Pay is good * Benefits are decent * Lots of chances to grow your skills as an engineer through pairing and internal learning opportunities * Significant allowances for time off * Extremely flexible schedule

Unfortunately, Jim is too stubborn to relinquish any control, meaning that he solely retains the responsibilities of managing the company and employees and bringing in clients, all while still assigning himself to work on projects. With a lack of clients and poorly managed finances, I'm surprised the company has stayed afloat this long. * No upward mobility * Poor or no direction from management * Poor management points toward the company running out of money quickly * Management expects employees to feel empowered to affect the company but stifles their abilities to do so
