Pros

- Great people for the most part. - Fun clients. - Unlimited PTO. - Work from home. - Good benefits.

Cons

- Management has no idea what’s going on. -Issues need to be flagged 10 times before action is taken, and that’s if it is ever even taken. - They preach about mental health and work life balance, but I can’t even begin to count the amount of times myself and others have worked 10-15 hour days. - No promotions unless you are a clear favorite. - Expected to work LOTS of overtime. - Lots of layoffs. - Having to work during PTO. - Expected to work on company holidays and weekends. - Expected to work while your sick because there’s no coverage. - Expected to pick up the slack of higher ups. So many cons I can’t even list them all, but it’s hard because the clients are great and it is a fun place to work. Your peers will care about you and your well being, but upper management won’t. I loved working here when I first started but about a year and a half in it just started to spiral down hill. The company was loosing clients, layoff after layoff, poor management, lots of employees in higher roles that didn’t even work, etc.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that uncertainty can be challenging, and we’re committed to continuously improving by listening and adapting. While there may be times when work outside of normal hours is needed to support our clients, we strive to create a culture where employees can disconnect and recharge. We recognize there’s more to do and remain focused on making meaningful improvements as we grow.

Thanks for this review! We always look to hire people that are not only great at the work they do but also care about creating a supportive, collaborative, and engaging environment at Code3. We’ll keep that focus as well as continue to address ways we can ensure a healthy, sustainable work/life balance for our Coders.

Pros

- A handful of really great coworkers who actually want to help and see you and the company succeed - Flexible schedule/ample PTO & paid holidays (pro & con - will get into this in cons) - Get to work with some fun clients & products - Full health benefits, including vision & dental

Cons

- ELT is very out of touch with what the actual day to day work is and what their teams do - The ample PTO & paid holidays is nice in theory, but for those who work directly with clients, it usually still means checking in on days off or work just piles up and once you're back in office you have even more to do - No one takes accountability; the same issues will be brought up to management over and over, yet nothing is done to fix the issues - Training is minimal, especially when people become managers who have never managed people before - In general, most employees are overloaded with client work and the work/life balance is nonexistent - No clear steps or actions outlined to be promoted so promotions feel unattainable, yet people from outside of the company will be hired in at higher positions than longstanding employees - Fully remote and can feel like you're isolated
