Pros

There is a nice atmosphere of camaraderie and friendliness. However, this isn't completely without it's faults, as you aren't given anything in a formal way (pay raises, health plan information, vacation time awareness, reviews, management oversight, etc).

Cons

The leadership (CEO in specific) constantly has blinders on. Whatever is the next new shiny object to focus on, gets his attention, until the next new thing comes along. Sometimes as quickly as a few days. He also has a hard time do anything managerial, and then overreacts to fluxuations in the market.

Pros

Get it done type mentality. Very mature business for a mid-size business; the sale process and engineers all work well together!

Cons

Tech requires an always learning mindset. Not an easy thing to get excited about.

Pros

So much potential. People have fun. Sometimes drinks at the office. Most are smart people.

Cons

Leadership is corrupt and manipulative. Just read the "stuffed" reviews! The CTO is in with the owner/CEO. And we all think the owner wrote the most recent review for coverups. Just look at the CTO and what's probably the owner talking about even the cons are great?! Everyone is watching and listening for distrust and backstabbers. The work isn't fun and feel bad for some users on the other end. Its all about $$ for a few. It's not right and people are afraid to talk about it with anyone above. Everyone knows and there are a few great managers and people. Don't get me wrong about most of the engineers but is so messed up to have to hide this review because it's such a small office. A few employees thought this needed to be posted. We will see if it is helpful!
