Pros

My co-workers were awesome.

Cons

I had 5 different managers in the 2.5 yrs I was here. My last manager was the most toxic person I've ever encountered in my entire life. We were constantly encouraged to speak up against bully management and when I did, I was shown the door. This individual was not respectful of my mental health conditions and was downright insulting on a regular basis. I actually had started up a lawsuit against him and was told that my proof of his conduct wasn't admissible in court, which does not negate his guilt. After leaving I learned that he continued to bully his subordinates without consequence and was also rated the worst manager in IT just after he was promoted after being on the team for only 6 months. I was turned down for promotion multiple times due to the fact that I never had a manager who paid attention or cared about what I was doing. If my work didn't put this person on a stage, it wasn't important to him. He became buddies with the HR rep and that's when he made it all about me and said that I was the problem. I stood up against blatant disrespect and abuse and I was forced out. This culture hasn't changed, it's reality is just shoved under the rug.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
