Pros

I can't think of any pros.

Cons

- It is largely a culture of "do what I say, not what I do" - The company slogan is "every voice counts" which couldn't be farther from the truth - Leadership favors white males - Management never puts in a full week, but employees are required to be there 9-5 Monday thru Friday - Learderhip is not inclusive, blatantly excluding groups of employees from team functions - No corporate strategy or marketing strategy - Very inappropriate work relations that affect a large part of the business - Top management plays favorites - No team development or formal training opportunities - You must accumulate your vacation days before you can take it - The off week promoted in on boarding uses the accumulated days, it is not an additional week - The lack of organization and planning leads to expired deadlines and chaotic work plans - Scheduled meetings with management are always cancelled without notice, showing no respect for their employees or their time and work - It is not a management team that welcomes any comments, especially constructive criticism - Collaboration and communication with other team members are not encouraged, in fact it is usually reprimanded - The lack of communication of decisions and directions creates a state of general confusion - They say they want to recruit "self starters", but the reality is that there isn't a lot of work becuase of the lack of corporate strategy and planning - The free snacks aren't worth it - My advice to current employees is to document everything incase you need to go to a labor board

Pros

Work in a super interesting area of technology and with incredibly smart people Reactive open-source technology is driving incredible success stories and has tons of application Delivery and consulting team is top notch when it comes to successful engagements and building tech that works. Never once was concerned about our ability to deliver on a sale or project

Cons

Remote work isn’t for everyone. Be ok with lots of Zoom sessions and accomplishing work on an island Be ready to adapt to changes in tech or strategy As company grows rapidly from a headcount perspective, culture and execution will shift. Have a nimble mindset.

Pros

I think this is a great company to work at. We are in a niche area that is in an exciting growth area. The people that use our tech LOVE the tech and that is driving positive adoption. Being a consulting company based on open source technology gives you a lot of room to position your offerings and we have had a lot of success in becoming a trusted advisor too many of our customers.

Cons

Being in 'start up' mode can be challenging for some people. We don't have all the answers and you have to figure things out through 'trial and error' sometimes. I think some people struggle with that type of environment. Also being involved in a specific open source area sometimes means there isn't a 'corporate giant' spending money to promote things. That makes adoption much slower but does give a company like us the opportunity to provide some leadership in this area.
