Pros

Competitive salary and free lunch

Cons

The company doesn’t know where they are at. No idea how this company is still alive! Management with no experience leading projects that they absolutely should not! This company has extremely high turn over and if you dont agree to cut corners they will fire you. If you have any opinion that is not a match with them, they will fire you. Toxic people and toxic environment. Dont waste your time there, they will suck everything out of you, cut you and laugh at you at the end! Is pretty awful! The company is so empty is depressing.. they’ve laid off many people for lack of budget and no plan to replace it. Sad for those that are still there. By far the worst company I’ve worked for. Too much gossiping and even your manager will throw you under the bus. You were awarded!

High stakes, high stress, high turnover

Pros

- A lot of empty parking spots - Amazing lunch that you can eat while working - Nice team bonding events due to sharing similar situations - Extremely fast paced environment with minimal oversight - CEO is a great salesman and can convince investors that the product is viable

Cons

- High turnover rate. Employees with bad attitudes get little to no repercussions because they don’t question management and follow instructions like robots. The good employees that voice out their concerns about rushed timelines get fired on the spot or PIP’ED. - CEO is extremely paranoid, erratic, and worried more about perception than the product itself - Managers are incompetent and force unrealistic deadlines which leads to putting people in danger - Work environment is very cliquey. If you don’t blindly follow your manager’s orders then don’t expect a promotion - Culture does not value integrity or safety. Those who challenge the perception or got hired too quickly get fired - This is a high stakes, look over your shoulder, cut-throat environment. If you don’t fit in, you will get fired like everyone else
