Pros

The people who work here are some of the smartest people I've ever met. We are working on fun, interesting, and challenging projects on a daily basis. I have been pleased with the fact that when I bring a new idea or technology to the crew for consideration, the idea is given a rigorous discussion, and more often than not, my ideas have been adapted into our workflow. I've had good experiences so far with flexibility of scheduling. If I need time off for family reasons, I get it, without any hassle. It's nice to have full benefits including health care, dental and vision. If you have a family the company contribution won't cover everything and you will have some deductions from your paycheck. I've read the negative reviews from some other former staffers on this site and to be honest it just sounds like sour grapes. I've been in the web development business for a long time and this is, without a doubt, the best company I've worked for. There has been a lot of turnover even since I've been here but I think it's for the best. The people who left weren't cut out for the fast pace of development here.

Cons

This can be a high-stress environment. The production queue is nearly always extremely full and there is considerable pressure to perform. There can be a "do more with less" approach, but I personally believe you can only "do less with less". The company does have a tendency to under-compensate in terms of salary.

Pros

Management will train you hands on and allow you to work your way up to develop a career. I did not have to go to school to learn all of the skills & knowledge I've gained over the years which is huge for me since I am a hands on type of learner. They are very understanding when you need time off for personal reasons/appointments, etc. Our team believes in working hard but playing even harder.

Cons

The work flow can be very fast paced since we are a B2B and it can get difficult to keep up or put full attention to one project, but I look at is as job security so it's not too much of a con.

Pros

The dedicated core staff are personable and fun people. I feel a genuine family kind of love there, often. I may be a little shy sometimes but I am not scared to talk to anyone here and that's kind of a big deal. They celebrate their achievements quarterly with the whole team which always makes for a good time. Everyone is made to feel special on their birthday! When people leave the company in good standing to move or whatever reason they get a send off that should make them feel appreciated. There is always silliness and fit's of laughter at some point in each day. Even if the day is hard or super busy people always find the humor. They have this phrase that I hope I am getting right "we take our work seriously but not ourselves" I wake up each day excited to go to work.

Cons

Honestly I don't have any constructive non selfish things to put here. Sure beats the heck out of my last job. I believe in being grateful.
