Pros

great stepping stone for those who are interested in the industry.

Cons

...but there's that 2 year non-compete that you signed when you got hired! * Pay is a fraction of the industry standard * Located in "Silicon Galloway", aka nowhere. * CEO is surrounded by an echo chamber of his old friends in the exec team. * Stagnant growth * Annual performance reviews are regularly late, by just 6 or so months. * If you have an idea on improving the company, you can put it on the list and cross your fingers that someone from the exec team will pass off a non-answer in a year or so. * Execs try to push the idea that the company is a family and has great culture. This may have been true a year or so ago, but it is no longer the case. Linode recently introduced Linode Lunches and stocked the pantry with snacks. This is the definition of bread and circuses.

Pros

Free food and soda, unlimited pto, 2.5x overtime pay, education reimbursement, paid MacBook, paid relocation, housing assistance

Cons

Poor training, punished for leaving office at end of shift improperly without any lockdown procedure training. Reported security concern but fired for not reporting it properly, although it was reported to the security team. Promised promotion after 1 year and management ignored me following up on that. If you work there and leave a bad review on here they threaten your employment unless you remove the review. Mansgement call people sex offenders without proof.
