Pros

-The Saint Louis development group was the best part of working at Gimmal. I was fortunate enough to not be fired like most of them. -Work/life balance is legitimately pretty good. -The workspace is really nice.

Cons

-Bad development practices. -Poor growth opportunities. -Terrible "raises". aka get ready for a yearly 1k raise. -Management that is swiftly bringing the company to the ground. -I survived two waves of layoffs. I hear another just took place. What a lovely work environment. -Unlimited PTO meant anything over 15 days needed special talks with the higher ups about why you were taking so many days off. Turns out, this is just done so they can save money when they fire you. -No transparency in plans.

Pros

There has been a noticeable shift toward positivity and growth. Our sales have seen a significant uptick which is reflective of solid business strategies with our current team. In the last year, our company culture has become far more collaborative and supportive which creates more of a sense of unity within the team. Looking ahead to 2024, there's a sense of optimism about opportunities for growth at all levels. I'm genuinely hopeful for this positive trend to continue.

Cons

The current reality at Gimmal is that the team is smaller than it should be. This shows that we work very well together but provides little in the way of backup or redundancy. As everyone wears multiple hats, there is higher chance for burnout among all levels of the team, and the responsibilities are sometimes hard to juggle. This is something to be mindful of if you have difficulty in balancing more than one responsibility. Time management is crucial to success at Gimmal.
