Pros

A really cool experience. The office was always fun and energetic and full of support and encouragement. Great place to work.

Cons

There really is not too much to comment on here. You kind of are in or you are out. There should be more focus on management style as well.

Pros

Their mission is great and they are willing to grow. Free breakfast in the morning and your lunch is reimbursed if you eat there.

Cons

They say unlimited pto but good luck getting any time off. It’s suppose to be an open policy but you get a feeling that it’s really not and a lot of clicks go on. Seems to be a set of hidden rules that no one knows about but if you break it good luck. Also if you are a republican don’t work here they trump bash all day

Great company... if you're not a contractor

Pros

- I have met some of the most kind and wonderful employees - The company culture is great and inclusive - "Free" breakfast/lunch/dinner. Essentially you pay for lunch but if you are a permanent employee you get reimbursed - PRO Unlimited being onsite and essentially being the "HR" for contractors

Cons

- Terrible management to those who are contractors (minus the Customer Success/Support teams who have the best managers) - My managers were passive aggressive and made me afraid to ever miss work (I had the flu one time and they expected me to come in and didn't even send me home after clearly seeing that I was ill) - Lack of diversity - People being promoted over other people due to favoritism - People being put into managerial positions that are not fit - Constant micromanagement - I heard that some contractors at times get 1-2 days notice before they are let go and not really told a reason why
