Pros

The people you work with are nice. Its easy to make friends. The location is not terrible. Work life balance

Cons

This is not a fake review. This is from someone who works for this company right now. The people you work for are clueless. Some people on their 2 week notice period were told they were expected to work late to get things done. Management does not listen to anyone that isn't management, Communication is at ZERO. Between departments, inside the same department. They fire sales people who are honest. There is so little going right here. Management does not like being questioned on anything. They do not like confrontation.

We respect the voice Glassdoor gives to employees, former employees and prospective employees. As a small company, we understand that this environment isn’t a good fit for everyone and realize that not everyone will enjoy the challenges and rewards that come with the territory. At Cartasite we operate on 3 key values: Integrity, Teamwork & Innovation. We are accountable to our customers, our colleagues and ourselves. We take great pride in these values and believe these are the keys to our success. At a small company every minute matters, and every individual effort is meaningful. We reward those that embrace the opportunity to own their outcomes and successes, and allow people a supportive atmosphere to fail quickly. At Cartasite we have very low employee turnover, so when we do lose an employee, it isn’t easy. Watching friends and knowledge say goodbye is unfortunately part of doing business, and we wish every former employee continued success. If one thing here rings true here, is that we can be better at communicating. While it isn't our desire to respond to every review when someone leaves the company, we do feel it is important that people reading these reviews have accurate information. We have promoted 3 of our 40 employees in the last 60 days, none of which are in the sales department (we also haven't let any sales people go in over 2 years). We have put in place several new avenues to share such information. One example of our efforts is illustrated by our weekly company round-ups, where we buy lunch for everyone and provide an open forum for every department share ideas/wins/losses. Weekly round-up attendance is optional, but the feedback from those who attend attest to improvements in communication.

Pros

Company really seems to be focused on delivering technologies that do more than just make a profit. ROVR has been effective and significantly reducing motor vehicle crash rates. And the satellite safety beacon has led to some pretty amazing rescues, including one in Kurdistan. It seems that the whole culture of the company is focused on innovation that makes the world a better place. I love working for a company that does good.

Cons

Until recently the company was really resource constrained. With the recent funding round that seems to be behind us.
