Pros

Co-workers are about the only good thing about working at thinkThin. The support staff and Sales Team are among the best in the industry.

Cons

- The company is majority owned by a venture capital firm whose only interest is to grow sales at any cost, then sell the company to recover their investment. People always come last in this equation. - Job insecurity. Regular layoffs for no reason create a toxic atmosphere of fear and mistrust. Turnover rate is higher than any company I've worked for. - Nonexistent communication. Everything is a secret, good direction is rarely given so people are set up to fail. The general message from management is "we don't care what you think."

Pros

Management and fellow employees work well together to foster a strong, cohesive team first environment. All employees are encouraged to share their opinions. Management offers a safe space wherein people aren't afraid to give "right" or "wrong" feedback. There is truly a strong emphasis on transparency, even through an acquisition. A normal business owners/executives would not have made the effort to give employees as many details on the transition as thinkthins has. I've been here just under a year and it has been delight to go to the office throughout!

Cons

The only Con I can think of (besides LA traffic....which no one can control!!! LOL) is the recent change of ownership. These types of changes usually give an office a sense of uncertainty, however this has not been the case at thinkThin. I've been through quite a few mergers and acquisitions and I have to say that TT is really navigating this difficult process with the utmost integrity and professionalism. I have to say that I wish current/satisfied employees would post on glassdoor more often. It seems like the disgruntled "squeaky wheels" have the impetus (and time I guess) to share their experiences for the most part... Anyway, hope this helps :)

Pros

The company had a good reputation and brand in the marketplace. Part of a larger corporate entity which has resources.

Cons

Push, push push with no focus or direction. Management is all about jamming in short term volume at the expense of long term results. There is a climate of fear working here.
