Pros

I have nothing nice to say about working at this stress factory. Sometimes we'd get free sandwiches for working double shifts. That was nice I guess.

Cons

Low salary, high pressure, zero time for personal life. You are literally coaxed into agreeing with the owner's false comments when potential customers come to visit. At this office, "Award winning certified Microsoft preferred vendor" can be translated as "we have no certificates, the award on the wall is fake, and we're not preferred in any category"

Pros

Great work life balance. Awesome clients including Red Hat, Facebook, Oculus, Microsoft, VMware. Variety of projects working on highly strategic projects. Great leadership, including the former Founder, Heather Zindel. She is great at providing guidance and mentorship along with Nicole.

Cons

None at this time. This mid-sized company is great.

Pros

Heather throws nice parties every once in a while. Convenient office location in Redmond. Fun coworkers. If you're senior, you can self manage and focus on meeting the needs of your client. Good health benefits, if you use them.

Cons

Heather (The CEO) has some serious stress issues. This manifests itself in a command and control management strategy. She has no trust in her employee's ability to self organize and execute their tasks. There is a complete lack of transparency on her part which doesn't work in a company so small. You won't be taken seriously if you're not considered 'senior. She has pretty questionable values. ex: she will fire you, tell you to spend two weeks training your replacement and order you to keep it secret. She chooses to loudly chew people out rather than deal with things professionally. Every question is an accusation. She is penny wise pound foolish in her people and business. Expect an insultingly low offer and cheap equipment. There is no sick time policy. If she knows you're sick, she'll order you to go home and dock your pay. She will consistently ask you to work during your scheduled vacations. Be sure to ask for the employee agreement before you accept any offer. It's full of unpleasant catches and gotchya's.
