Pros
I got to work and see a lot of great projects and exciting opportunities while at Fuel. Growth was a potential as you could join the company at a low level of move your way up to be team leads or higher. The pure talent of my fellow co-workers was incredible and always a joy to be a part of. Every few weeks lunch would be provided.
Cons
The expectations were ridiculous. Fuel would accept projects that had unrealistic deadlines and simply expect the staff to stay as late as needed to finish it. On top of the already crazy deadlines, new work would be accepted without any opportunity to extend the deadline. Fuel would bend over backwards to simply win a project even though they constantly talked about how the company was stable and could seek equal opportunity projects that would not constantly push the employees to the extreme. Projects would be estimated prior to any details about the end result. When it would come down to execution because everyone is perfectionists an estimate that was discussed as straight forward would be completely warped from what the original expectations were. Working overtime was expected and not paid back in equal rates. Weeks of overtime would be rewarded by a gift card worth not much more than a dinner.
