Pros

I can't think of any Pros. This is a great industry but you are probably better off starting your own company from scratch.

Cons

It's difficult to begin here. But most of (if not all) the issues are with the CEO. - CEO more than likely (in my very strong opinion) wrote the only positive review for himself on this page in order to con people into working for him. I can't think of any reasons why anyone would approve of him, including those that have been with him for years. - In general, the CEO does not know how to run a business. - CEO is not very good with sales. He will eschew smaller money-making sales so that he can go after bigger sales, which often fall through and/or aren't priced according to the work load. - CEO corners and implicitly belittles employees. - CEO does not (in my opinion) understand development process and expects a week's worth of work to be completed and tested within a day or two, or sometimes within hours. - CEO will forego appropriation for testing time in order to get a product out the door, resulting in unhappy clients. - CEO will promise more to clients than company can physically provide, at least within the timescale they are given. - CEO burns bridges with clients, which probably will make it difficult to obtain new clients in those areas. - More of a personal grievance, but CEO was very socially inappropriate on several occasions. Not enough to make any kind of legal complaint, but enough to make things incredibly awkward and/or uncomfortable. - When things wouldn't go his way, he would become very noticeably loud, obnoxious, and otherwise completely unprofessional. I hate to use these terms on a professional review, but "whiny baby" and "temper tantrum" really fit here. This would happen so often that employees would deliberately avoid him if things weren't going well (which they never were). - CEO makes promises to employees regarding salaries and reviews that he never (in my opinion) intended to keep.

Pros

I have worked at Evolution Ventures for almost 8 months now. It has been incredible to work for a smaller company because of how many opportunities I get to be hands-on with different roles and projects. I have never learned so much in such a short period of time and I will be able to take what I have learned here to any potential future job. I also love the team and the clients we have, it makes every day interesting and different. And working from home is a huge bonus!

Cons

It would be great to get to see my coworkers more often, we are all spread out in different states.

Pros

I cannot tell if there is anything good to say, i had analyzed every aspect/offering that the company offer and everything deserves one star or less

Cons

CEO only cares about making money, even if that involves huge sacrifices in the quality of the products like he says. I don't care how it's done as long as it works. Is a common practice to cut corners( crucial aspects of the product ) to deliver with really tight deadlines. The CEO cares more about if you arrive on time ( one minute late and he will notice it ) and leave late ( literally ). He should focus on performance ( results oriented ) and be more flexible so the employees can work happier and be more productive. Offers low salary in comparison with the industry standards.
