Pros

There's literally 0 benefits to joining Codesmith

Cons

Most importantly, your opinion will never matter. The CEO and CMO are funny characters and I wouldn't trust a word they say. They constantly say one thing and do another. Notice the time frames between active reviews on glass door and you'll figure out that the early reviews were upper management. Also, there is no growth opportunities in the company. 2nd, Codesmith is a revolving door. There's been multiple people fired and many have contributed greatly to the companies growth and expectations. You're expendable. 3rd, you must use your own computer. They say they'll give you $500 but that's after 45 days of employment so you might as well just use your current system. As with the other reviews, there's a "their way or the highway" mentality. Nobody, absolutely nobody, loves working there so don't be fooled. The unlimited time off they offer is pretty limited since you'll have too much on your plate to take off anyway. Add the fact they refuse to grow in areas to actually support you which would help relieve the workload. They'll move you through the hiring process quickly to get you locked in. Hopefully, this review will save someone from making a huge mistake.

Pros

Before the company was acquired by two oblivious people, working at Codesmith was fun. Our teams had good communication and transparency. We had a say in how to handle projects and our teams. Then everything quickly spiraled out...

Cons

First off, the insurance was laughable. Insane deductible, insane cost, little to no coverage, even on the highest tier. Unlimited PTO was a joke, because you basically had to work or were harassed when you tried to take off by management. Once the new owners came along, a huge storm cloud and shadow loomed over the company. A lot of backdoor things seemed to be going on, business dwindled to an almost complete stop, and due to that, we were pressured to try to upsell things to our existing clients in a very smarmy way. We lost any transparency with management, were disrespected on the regular, and then random friends of the new owners started getting hired but not on boarded to our tools or had any communication with the US team. Eventually the entire US team was laid off and replaced with cheap offshore labor. I doubt if this company will see the end of 2024.
