Pros
Had some great coworkers. Worked on a fun project.
Cons
This company fails at employee retention and development. Here are the key observations that impacted me: Below-Average Compensation: The company paid salaries that were approximately 10-15k below the industry standard. Their reasoning for this was that they were a small company. Lack of Supportive HR Team: Without an HR team in place, there was an absence of structured processes for annual reviews, discussions about advancement opportunities, and areas for professional growth. Selective Approach to Raises: Raises seemed to be given primarily to favorites or those who specifically requested them. It was demoralizing to see a lack of transparency and fairness when it came to compensation adjustments based on performance and merit. Furthermore, it's important to mention that the company often made promises of company shares, bonuses, and advancement opportunities, but these commitments rarely materialized. Considering my experiences, I viewed this company as a stepping stone in my career journey, providing valuable experiences and lessons, but ultimately pushing me to seek more fulfilling opportunities elsewhere. I would not recommend working here.
