Pros

- Great base level employees - Nicer Office and Location right by the train - The ability to appreciate other jobs in comparison - The product is cool

Cons

Do not believe the promises that are told to you in the interview you will not be there long enough to see anything come true most likely. The turn over is significant for such a small company, people are fired, burnt out, and treated poorly consistently. (They are a small company you will be expected to tell clients that Goliath is much bigger and influential than they are) The CEO is extremely focused on what is good for him, he makes tons of promises and delivers on very few of them. The management team is sycophants and are terrified of the CEO which they should be as he would fire them in a second if he was unpleased with him. The management team tends to steal the good ideas from the employees and pawn them off on their own and blame the employees when something is wrong. CEO will hire and fire people at whim constantly demanding 10-12 hour days on a constant basis as he lives in the office sometimes literally. He expects the same of you even if you are not getting paid what you deserve. While I worked there people that worshipped the CEO from previous companies were brought it, and then other people were fired. I saw in my year there atleast one person per month be let go, I would say 85% of them were amazing employees who produced great work. Other than the CIO (came from an old company of the CEO surprise see a pattern) it seems that women don't last long at Goliath as of the 6 women in the office 4 were let go in one year. One day you will be praised the next you are being belittled. I could go on about the poor experience that I and the rest of the real reviews below however you most likely see the pattern in the reviews. Avoid this company, alot of promises will be made, but trust me you will regret it.

The interview process is a great opportunity to test these issues. What is turnover like? How many employees have been with the company for more than a year? How many employees have celebrated life milestones such as engagements, marriages, or having children while working here? You can also ask to speak with other employees or executives. Goliath has a proven track record of success and record growth year after year thanks to our team members. The executive team is accountable to each other and to the employees with quarterly updates based on promised goals, not just achievements. None of this would be possible in the environment described above.

Terrible Company and Management!

Pros

There aren't any pros, other than leaving the company - best thing I've ever done.

Cons

I am warning/alerting anyone considering a job here - please read all of the negative reviews and take them seriously - do not accept a job here - you will regret it! Notice all of the positive reviews which are written by the CEO...they all reiterate long hours - there is no benefit to the long hours and no money to be made here. Everything you hear during the interview and while you're there for the first couple of weeks is a lie! There are so many unethical things that took place there, there are too many to list.

Thanks for the feedback. We value and consider all feedback and are always looking for ways to improve. The leadership team may send emails after hours or on weekends because we're working hard to make the company successful. However, our employees are not required to do the same unless there is a specific project deadline or emergency as in any job.

Horrible

Pros

Good products but nothing else.

Cons

Please take your skills, time, energy and career elsewhere. As many reviews on Glassdoor have stated, there is NO HUMAN FACTOR here so please thoroughly read through and consider them. The CEO expects you to dedicate your entire life to his company and then will fire you with no hesitation at no fault of your own. Management team lacks basic skills. The turnover rate is high and people come and go except if the CEO has previously worked with them. Do not be fooled with the nonsense you are told during your interview or the positive reviews you see on here.

It is hard to recognize the environment you describe, a software company’s main asset is the people in the organization. Goliath could not have the success it’s had if what is described above was accurate. I’ll repeat a comment from below: Allow me to share a personal anecdote. A few weeks ago my parents were in town to celebrate their wedding anniversary. When the CEO heard this he quietly sent a very nice bottle of champagne to their hotel room. This is one of many examples I've seen of him personally going the extra mile for Goliath employees. His professional reputation, and the fact that many employees and executives have followed him to Goliath to work with him again speaks for itself, but you can see how he's positively impacted the careers and lives of employees on our careers page.
