Good job for first time employment, but no opportunities for growth
Pros
- Everyone is very welcoming and you can tell there is a close-knit community - My direct manager was very nurturing and I had a great relationship with the core members of my team - They send you all the necessary things to work from home (computer, desk, chair, etc) - Fully remote! I worked in pajamas most of the time
Cons
- This company laid off a 3rd of the workforce in April, 2022, immediately and WITHOUT any prior notice - Starting pay is always 50k, no matter what position you start in. Since the company is small, there aren't guarantees that you will get a yearly raise despite that being written in your employment contract - Beware of "we are family" companies; this company is the essence of nepotism where mostly everyone who gets hired is a friend or relative of an existing employee. This makes it hard to connect with people or take professional skills seriously - They place more importance on the sales people than other departments - Major outsourcing from other countries so they can pay them less - Upper management is definitely drinking the Silicon Valley tech kool-aid and it is poisoning the well - I don't believe that they believed in their mission
