Pros

The atmosphere here is incredibly laid back and it's pretty easy to just get by here. There have been more opportunities for lower level employees to get experience from different departments, which is great, but it's something you really have to press your manager for.

Cons

This small company appears to be trying to grow but seems to be stuck in their recession-era ways; they play it really safe by keeping terrible clients and continuing to charge them less than they should, which results in the seriously below-average wages they pay their employees. Some employees here are very hard workers, but they are rarely appreciated the way they deserve. The company is also very divided between departments and between upper and lower management. These divisions cause a severe lack of communication on a project level but also within the company structure as a whole. It did not feel like there was decent room for growth on an individual level. The vision or plan for an employee to move up the ladder, if there is one at all, is not clearly communicated or carried out. The physical office itself is also pretty depressing; it's not in a great neighborhood and there could be more done to maintain a professional appearance inside.

Pros

Exposure to a variety of projects and clients Opportunities to develop technical skills Some colleagues and management staff were supportive and collaborative

Cons

Constantly changing management and ongoing restructuring created instability Lack of trust between management and employees Poor handling of employee health issues; significant delays in allowing necessary medical leave Insufficient support and resources for professional growth High turnover rate contributing to a stressful work environment Strange onboarding process; I was given a phone and laptop set up for an older employee without the data wiped, forcing me to use personal accounts for basic communication No real shadowing period or introduction to colleagues; I was immediately put to work Inadequate training due to absent or ineffective project managers Frequently left off important project email chains until the last possible moment Taken off my own projects to work on others without any personal benefit Strange infighting between senior management and constant discussions about previous employees Inappropriate conversations between senior and junior staff Poor internal communication Non-paid overtime is constant Fairly dangerous neighborhood No lunch breaks provided Unsanitary conditions; the restrooms were frequently left in unacceptable states
