Pros

There were nice people who worked well together. There were challenging projects to learn from. At times I felt very appreciated when we hit deadlines or completed last minute projects for other teams, which often happened.

Cons

It is a miserable place to work nowadays. 4 managers were fired out of nowhere. The president is unstable and irrational, always thinking about who to fire next. The lead recruiter supports the behavior and denies it's a problem. That's just the start of their problems tbh.

Thank you for sharing feedback about your experience with us and regret that it did not meet your expectations. Unprecedented growth necessitated a larger than usual pace of hiring and onboarding and as an organization we were not as prepared as we could have been in regard to resource planning. As organizational needs evolved in anticipation of being better positioned for the future it required a reduction of staff and elimination of positions, some of them managerial, in varying levels. Unfortunately it is very difficult to conduct changes of this nature, and we can only do our very best to be as tactful, respectful and compassionate as possible. Firings however are conducted in an entirely performance-based manner with proper managerial, and human resource due process and do not reflect organizational staff reductions (layoffs). It is clearly is not our intention to create an environment where employees are pressured to perform, but rather encouraged and given the creative autonomy to add value and to achieve. Thank you for sharing your experience with us - we have made efforts to address all of the Cons that you have listed and we feel confident that after experiencing growing pains faced earlier this year we are now stronger, leaner, and on the right track for scaling the company at a reasonable pace.

Pros

After a couple of horrific experiences elsewhere, it's amazing to work for a company where people care about their employees and are transparent about how things are going in the business. They've been in business awhile, but a sudden growth is meaning you're getting the startup feel. Executive level management takes our comfort and satisfaction very seriously and they are amazing about letting people know when they're doing a good job. If you're a hard worker who can wear multiple hats, but also be laid back and take some very constructive guidance, you'll thrive. If you're coming in thinking you know it all and don't need to grow, you don't belong with this culture and will leave bitter. (Like the people below probably did). I adore this place and how easy it is to talk with anyone at any level of management about your thoughts or concerns, and that they will actually take the time to sit down and work through it all with you.

Cons

The only real con is how crazy far I commute to get in, which will be changing. After that I'm pretty sure I'll be completely satisfied. Anyone who can't handle the changing dynamic of a quickly growing company might have troubles, but for those of you who love the startup feel you'll be excited about everything going on! (Also, if you're not great at Mario Kart you might come back from break with a bruised ego. Fair warning.)
