Pros

People on the team are smart, and you will definitely pick up a lot from working here. Also, the view out of the back is really nice.

Cons

Really low pay and weird policies (strict no shoes rule, strange Christmas ritual of gifting home-made items to an imaginary cat). There were rats in the building for about four out of the six months I was there and we had to clean our desks with bleach daily because the rats would leave droppings behind (everyone knew about the rats, it just took months for anyone to take it seriously and do anything about it). Really weird rules on who was or wasn't allowed to work from home, plus productivity is definitely affected when both the critical team leads work from home and tend to be slow in responding to messages. It also made communication difficult -- we'd get conflicting directions from different people because no one was ever on the same page. CEO might be a little insane -- she is extremely moody and ranges from saccharine sweetness to unhealthy rage (you could frequently hear her yelling and sometimes throwing things around in her office... not healthy or normal). I was also once asked to falsify time sheets so a client would be billed less, which seemed really unethical to me. Career opportunities are virtually nonexistent. Overall, I would strongly recommend against working here.

Uncomfortable job experience

Pros

The graphic design team, financial, organizational and engineering team members are great, creative and positive. The job has tight deadlines, but folks work smoothly together to get the job done. The projects and work are fun!

Cons

The CEO has moments of rage that leak out into the entire small company. She lets folks go fairly often, it seems, which makes the environment uncomfortable and unstable. It's her company, so she is able to run it the way that she likes, but I would recommend choosing any other place for employment. Also, the pay is nearly unlivable for the area and certainly not worth emotional abuse.

Worst professional experience ever.

Pros

The only pro of working here, I can think of, is the moment you get to tell them you quit. The developers and designers were talented and polite.

Cons

I can confirm and attest to every previous review alleging unprofessionalism, high employee turnover, rage from the president/owner and an uncomfortable work environment. The company president, or the “Queen” as she calls herself on their website, quite frankly is the most toxic part of being employed here. She manages through the use of fear, intimidation, belittling of employees and anger. This is a private company and she can run it any way she like but I would advise against working here.
