Pros

- Overall a nice crew of employees - Cool factor of working in emerging markets and outdoor market. - Flexible with hours

Cons

- Awful, awful management, from the CEO on down. He trashes directors, directors trash employees, and employees just hear the whispers about what was said about them. It has left many employees with no other choice but to leave. - Broken QA and ops processes that stay broken, despite countless defects and delays. The company has spent more time reworking products than developing them. - Sudden changes in the business model leave emerging markets like India high and dry.

Pros

The work environment is incredibly positive, with everyone being kind, helpful, and genuinely invested in your well-being. The workload is manageable, especially compared to previous roles I've held, and there's no micromanagement. As long as projects are completed on time, you're given the freedom to manage your schedule however you see fit. This flexibility, combined with the supportive atmosphere, makes it a great place to work.

Cons

The outdoor and recreation market can be unpredictable, with some years being highly successful and others less so. Additionally, there's limited room for career growth within the company due to its smaller size. Unlike larger organizations, such as the Big Four, promotions don't happen annually. While this isn't a concern for me, it could be for others seeking rapid advancement.

Pros

It’s a small but growing company so there are opportunities to learn new things. Coworkers are nice and genuinely care about you.

Cons

Leadership is usually overwhelmed and rarely have a plan. They react to challenging situations rather than prevent them.
