Pros

The people working there are generally nice and want to help. all the mid and lower-level employees worked very well together and really connected with any new person coming on board.

Cons

The leadership change from Wiredrive to Shift Boston really hurt the company. With a CEO whose only concern was being able to say he built the product and was probably looking to cash out, but when you build a product just like your competitor and even your wife quits. BIG ISSUES. Every time someone would quit the CEO would send out a message or some made-up reason why the company is better off with out that person.

Pros

*Health insurance *401k match at 4% *There's internal advancement opportunity (seems to hinge on your department) *Cool clients *I like my teammates *Work-life balance not bad

Cons

Just a dysfunctional company or, dysfunctional leadership. Success team is pressured to take action that will harm their customers and bottom line. The new app, is worse than both MediaSilo and Wiredrive and leadership closes their ears and rolls over objections from every department. App is still in beta essentially and, our customers are the testers. Not to mention huge churn and outages. We lost the battle with Frame.io but tried to look just like them. Features are demod and promised but, never arrive or when they do are incomplete.

You're expendable

Pros

Interesting product concept. At least early on, while they were still employed, my coworkers were great.

Cons

If you're not a yes man (and I do mean _man_), you won't survive. The micromanaging CEO meddles in everything, even overriding years-long precedents in coding standards in an effort to boost his ego. If you disagree with absolutely anything he says, or even offer a challenge, your life will be a lot harder and you'll be replaced with a Ukrainian contractor faster than you can say "Kiev." My coworker was fired without warning or explanation, after having worked on a project that had to be redone three times when upper management changed their mind on various whims. Promises were broken. The VP promised me a pretty good raise after my first performance review, but after a glowing review I got 1%.
