Pros

I enjoy getting to work as part of a smaller team. Each of our clients is different so it's nice to get to do different work for each one, rather than the same thing for every client. It makes it so there is always variety in what we are doing. Since we are smaller, I also feel like you have ownership over the work you are doing because you are working directly on the project and are responsible for the outcome. I feel like we work a pretty typical day-to-day schedule and it's always easy to work with management to arrange time off whenever needed.

Cons

As a smaller team, you do have a lot of responsibility on the projects that you work on. This can be an opportunity to take on more responsibility, but some people don't enjoy it – just like group projects :) There's no "corporate ladder" of sorts to climb if you're into that. I've taken on more responsibility and grown in the company via the projects I work on and demonstrating leadership.

Pros

It was great to be able to find a job right out of college. Some of the co-workers were friendly.

Cons

Wow. Where to start. There is a long list of cons for working at Ignite XDS. This place is toxic, let me tell you. The boss builds up your hope on false promises. There is lack of communication on the management team. When I worked there I tried hard to get moved up and more responsibilities. No matter what I did they would not help me grow in my career. The owner is on a mega power trip. He once locked the doors on the employees for not being at work 10 minutes early. He did not pay them for that day.

Hello, we're sorry to hear you feel this way, and that we were not made aware of your concerns during your time here. We hold quarterly/bi-annual performance review/goal setting sessions to help our team members grow in their roles and provide an opportunity for any concerns to be addressed. We have also not had any recent turn over, so we are sorry to hear these frustrations years later and that we were unable to help resolve these earlier. We're proud of how much our team has grown over the years, and all that they have accomplished. We sincerely wish the best for you as well.

Pros

One time we got a free meal? I think?

Cons

Where do I start? - This job is a trap for entry level employees. Expect to be overworked, underpaid, and treated terribly from your first day to your last. - The management is clueless, punishing the hard-working and rewarding the mediocre. I was so far ahead of schedule on my work that they had me assemble IKEA furniture for an entire shift. - Expect an incredibly high turnover rate. The company was ~20 people when I left and at least 70% of them had been fired, quit, or let go. - Your voice does NOT matter here. Whether you've got a brilliant idea or you want to improve on your abilities, you will learn nothing that you couldn't easily pick up online or in college. - The office politics reminds me of a high school. If someone is disliked, group chats will be started to make fun of them. I caught my own manager making fun of my appearance to my coworkers and the most I got was a half-hearted apology. - The culture is just rotten. Irredeemably rotten. I have no other words to describe how much this company made me doubt myself creatively, professionally, and personally.
