Pros
Working at Inkling was a great experience: a smart and considerate staff, excellent start-up amenities, a wonderful & innovative product The CEO is present and approachable. He didn't hide himself in an elite office, he sat in the open floor plan with the rest of us. The product is very compelling: Inkling's digital reading app and the Habitat publishing platform—both disruptive innovations. They used to have an "extra credit" project period each year that was pretty fun. Exciting and bonded coworkers. Catered lunches brought everyone together each day.
Cons
Management made some poor decisions that led to a loss of staff. Individual opinion/product recommendations are often overlooked to the detriment of the company. Some favoritism was displayed (for not always the best reasons), resulting in staff being matched improperly to lead job roles--causing loss of forward motion in the organization and the product development.
