Worst job I've ever had. Do NOT work here. I didn't take the reviews here seriously and paid the ultimate price.

Pros

- I got a paycheck on-time every couple weeks. - There are definitely a few very good individual contributors (and one good, skilled, earned-their-chops-the-real-way manager), but they leave or get let go more often than not.

Cons

- Constant cost-cutting efforts undermine the stability of the product by laying off/firing engineers that question management and downsizing infrastructure. - Security and compliance concerns are brushed aside regularly. I can't go into more detail about that. - Management designs stuff in closed door meetings, and dumps it on your desk to implement with unrealistic timelines, not to mention half the time it's just not the right approach. Don't question it though, or you'll have a target on your back! - Anything that could fix issues or make your job better needs to be a "homework project" if it doesn't align with current sprint goals (aka management's weekly whims). That means you do the work on your own time. - Be prepared to get pulled into each and every Production issue, even if you're not on-call. The pool of engineers is so small, it's constantly an "all hands on deck" situation when the product inevitably collapses in on itself every few days. - If you're not part of the family (either blood related, or been with the company for 7+ years) you are not considered important. You suggestions will be ignored. - You'll stop being asked to participate in meetings if you question a "family member" or bring up anything that resembles opposing their viewpoint. - Any concerns about my job I brought to my manager during our 1-on-1's (of which I think I had maybe one every quarter) were refuted because THEIR situation was MUCH worse than mine. 1-on-1's with them ended up being more like counseling sessions for them than working out concerns I had about work. - My SO told me several times to quit, even though I had no job prospects lined up. "Don't worry about money, you just have to get out of there! That place is terrible!" That's how bad it was. - The job description you've been presented is almost completely lies. No matter which one it is. Seriously.

Pros

Employees (non-management) are a great people to work with, very collaborative and have great potential.

Cons

The company is run by a family, all high positions are held by some or the other family member, but that not an issue at all. The issue is, has zero commitment towards its employee. The management (family) is extremely short sighted and believes in using and throwing its employees, to overcome the consequences of their short sightedness. This is how they work: Looks like they don’t have enough and constant investment to fuel the plans and resources. So they hire people with high skill sets and then use them to get the projects completed on a rapid pace or set the processes and as soon as it gets to cruise mode they let them go without any prior warning, notice or appropriate compensation. They label the lay offs as “performance issue”, for which they never provide any prior warning or feedback, which makes it worse. The opinion I shared isn’t based on a single event, this seems to be a pattern the company follows often. This practice creates a very toxic and insecure work environment for the employees. It’s common for a start up to highly rely on investment and other fund raising activities for supporting their operations and resources cost. But if you are so short on funds and still need the high skill set talent to get the work done and for the company to succeed, hire them on contract basis and terminate or extent the contracts based on the funding situation. That’s what all ethical and mature companies do, instead of using and penalizing their employees for their lack of planning and vision. So bottom line is, if you are looking to work in a healthy and secure environment and for company that values and cares even slightly for its employees don’t even think about joining them.

Pros

Leadership team is driven to succeed and focused on empowering employees to develop their career. I feel respected by leadership and enjoy the challenging environment. Management is transparent and hold frequent all hands meetings to keep the company up to date. The culture and people here are what truly make the company great. We all work really hard here and are rewarded accordingly. I especially appreciate the end of year bonus and frequent performance/comp reviews. My professional growth here over the last 2 years has been tremendous and the best work experience I could ask for.

Cons

DeVero made great improvements to health benefits in 2017, looking forward to a 401k enhancement to complete the package.
