Pros
Decent perks for a tech startup Allowed some remote work/schedule flexibility Great energy for some really cool & innovative tech Quality people to work alongside
Cons
Corporate culture was 180 what they said it was on website IMHO it appeared leadership had trust issues with subordinates IMHO it appeared to me that leadership had set up comp for sales team to be at odds with one another At times... the left hand doesn't know what right hand is doing on sales/marketing side while I was there.

Pros
The #1 reason to work at Axcient is the perks. While the company's tech is interesting and the culture is welcoming, the main reason to stay is for how well they treat their employees. Some perks: * Well-stocked kitchen * You can bring your dog to work * Many opportunities to learn and advance * Catered food 2x/week * Solid management team * Welcoming atmosphere, with patient/helpful coworkers * Flexibility to work from home * No trouble leaving early or coming in late for appointments * Health plans are somewhere in the B+ to A- range.
Cons
* Work/Life balance suffers due to long hours and long list of responsibilities * Little chance of a significant increase in compensation as long as you work here * Problems with PTO. (below) This is one of those companies that ostensibly offers "unlimited" paid vacation and sick days. The problem with this plan is that you have to be constantly taking advantage of it for it to be worthwhile. In normal companies, you would be paid for the balance of your PTO not taken when you leave or are fired; so you effectively "get" all the vacation you're owed one way or another. Here, you're not "owed" anything, and if you take very little PTO, it's considered to be your choice. Unfortunately, however, management sets up obstacles to taking vacations, making it very difficult to take more than a few days off at a time. Additionally, the culture of the company doesn't look favorably upon people who take multiple vacations in a year. The result is that you end up with much less time off than you would get if you worked for a company with a standard PTO plan.
