Pros

There have been two large layoffs in the past three years of operation. In 2015, Keas was averaging an employee resigning per month. Then there was a layoff after Thanksgiving. With desperate times comes desperate measures, but Keas seems to always be in a state where they continually lack resources to provide quality service and products to their customers... then resorts to cutting jobs. When I was working at Keas, the company functioned in an unstructured manner. There was a desperate need to re-create processes and operationalize in every team. That challenge can be exciting or daunting, depending on who you ask. Thus, Keas is ever changing. A dynamic environment, although stressful, is also a learning environment. Keas is not for everyone. I see the best employees go above and beyond, even if it means working a 50 hour work week. They'd be focused and passionate about their work, unaffected by the sea of their coworkers complaining how much they hate their job. - Easy to make business decisions - Unlimited PTO* - Membership to Equinox gym ($200/month value)

Cons

- No monthly/annual performance reviews; raises need to be demanded - Extremely difficult to acheive work-life balance (those working 8 hour days are seen as "taking it easy") - Unlimited PTO comes with the pressure to check emails and work remotely when you're off
