Pros

The new ceo has enabled alkamists to work remotely. Cell phone stipend.

Cons

No more perks. We used to have free lunch, epic parties, swag and fun to balance the intense work and pace... Now it's all work and no play. Culture has changed drastically since the entire HR leadership team left--with it also left the fun, employee engagement surveys and trust. C-suites that have joined less than 18 months ago: ceo, cro, chro, cmo... turn over at the top is rampant. Turn over at all levels is rampant. Leadership bends the truth a lot... Esp to new candidates during interviews. Highly recommend talking to current employees before coming to work here. High turn over which is conveniently hidden by internal transfers. Sweatshop mentality: more, faster regardless of quality and rework. The only way to get ahead here is to throw others under the bus and align yourself with unethical snakes. If you want to work in a place that has broken down the silos, this is not the place for you. This is not a place where working parents can thrive. Lots of smoke & mirrors here! Read other reviews before joining. Leadership sees everyone as replaceable pieces in a chess game-not as individual humans. Promotions are based on who likes you, rather than value added to the company. Unlimited PTO is the biggest scam ever! Don't fall for it. The new ceo, Alex, seems to really care about people but it feels like it's 2 years too late.

Pros

Product is evolved, location is nice, benefits are decent. This small company boasts amazing talent at the worker-level. This is heavily development driven, but also possesses great talent with sales, product and delivery. Good pay for the work.

Cons

You can see the signs of implosions and mismanagement on the horizon. It resides with constant heroics, working toward features with disregard to the whole, and blame-shifting for fault. Decisions actually come from individuals, not consensus and have large ramifications. The visions are conflicting and short-sighted about the product and sustainability of the product in a market that is becoming crowded. When you add the mixture of highly talented and overworked people consistently performing heroics due to poor planning, you have a recipe for disaster.

Pros

Decent health benefits, unlimited vacation time, passionate and talented co-workers, standing desks, catered lunches, team building events.

Cons

Company maintains high speed start-up mentality without consideration of extensibility and limited processes in place despite how large it's grown. Micro management, some managers lack management skills, management by fear, and management by crisis tends to be the norm. High stress environment created by managers, long hours with nights and weekends required to keep up with client commitments. New hires expected to learn product and complex work quickly via hundreds of JIRA tickets. High turnover rate with Product Owners and Project Managers. Accountability lacking between departments with escalations often required for crucial tasks to get accomplished. Ability to take and or enjoy any said unlimited vacation is rare due to previously noted items.
