      Pros

      There is some flexibility to be had. If you enjoy remote work and deadlines, this job might suit you. The team is small but lovely for the most part.

      Cons

      I read the first and only negative review about Business Tech Ninjas and decided to take a chance on the company anyway. The vast majority of positive reviews have been left by new hires (under a year of experience with the company). There is a core group of 5-6 members who have been around longer than this, but everyone else is expendable and the turnover rate is high. Passing a Myers-Briggs test is a must to be considered for any position within the company. I thought this to be a compelling icebreaker tactic until I realized that it is factored heavily into the recruitment process and is more than a gimmick to make the long-winded hiring process more personable. If you score a personality type that conflicts with the established members of the CEO, according to the 16 Personalities charts, you will not be given an opportunity to continue. As a part-time contractor, you are expected to have the same level of promptness in response as a full-time employee. After you’ve been signed on with the company, you must answer a series of the same teambuilding questions every 2 weeks before you are able to submit an invoice. CEO strongly discourages asking questions but gives exceptionally vague instruction. You will be reprimanded for asking too much. I found other employees were more than happy to answer my questions, however. There is a real possibility that you will be replaced without warning; you won’t be outright fired, but instead strung along with the CEO suggesting that perhaps this isn’t the best fit for you. Be on the lookout for job postings for your position if you start feeling ostracized; this is likely intentional. I would never dream of discounting the exceptionally hard work that those employed by the CEO have performed. Most everyone I met had been incredibly kind. I have absolutely no qualms with these folks. I was fortunate enough to recognize the issues within the business early on and find a position with a more reputable company. Don’t settle for BTN if you have an opportunity to work somewhere credible. If after reading this review you decide to take a chance on this company, go for it, and best of luck to you.

      Pros

      Imagine a workplace that’s all about injecting fun into the serious side of tech—while really caring about everyone from the team to the clients. Offering the sweet deal of remote work, it syncs up beautifully with how I want to live my life. It's cool to connect with a variety of clients and team members worldwide, which definitely keeps things interesting. What I really like is endless opportunity for personal growth. Being with a company that rides the tech tide means my skills never stop evolving. This team encourages innovation and personal growth—something I looked long and hard for.

      Cons

      The flexibility of working from any nook and cranny of the world is definitely a pro but can come with some logistical gymnastics, especially around syncing up our clocks for collaboration. Nailing down a meeting time can be a bit like herding cats. But, overcoming these challenges just highlights our team's ability to adapt and excel, transforming potential setbacks into victories of resourcefulness and connectivity :)

      Pros

      You can work anywhere, anytime. It's the ultimate remote work job. You just have to be available for some meetings during business hours a couple times a week. Their clients are really interesting companies too. The CEO takes a lot of initiative with trying out different productivity methods and personality tests. You can also get hired without much experience and will be trained.

      Cons

      Not enough support for new employees. I'd be told not to ask too many questions to the CEO because she was so busy (under the guise of "try figuring it out on your own before asking questions"), but then got reprimanded when I'd make mistakes. I felt like I was walking on eggshells around the CEO. The main issue I have with the company is that I was let go without being told I was let go. It was the ultimate passive aggressive way to get rid of someone. I was told I'd be moved to a different department that was a better fit, and then when I followed up after a couple of weeks I was told, "Oh sorry, it's just been so busy, we'll have a spot for you in a couple weeks!" and never heard from her again.
