Pros

- Some of the people that work there are really nice and fun to be around. - Company just raised some capital, so it should be able to invest more freely than in the past. - VP of Marketing is a great speaker and represents himself and the company very well. - The event marketing manager is very passionate about what she does. She goes above and beyond to help the company have a great event experience. - Company has changed their name to Annex Cloud from Social Annex, in an attempt not to suffer in the present from past misfortunes and bad experiences. (make sure you review Social Annex on Glassdoor)

Cons

- CEO micro manages everything, almost to the point that he's afraid to let go and give others autonomy. - Leadership talks down & degrades the people that work there- hence the unhealthy comment in the subject line. - Leadership does not encourage creativity or ideas other than their own. Their model of leading is top down and authoritative. - Employees morale is beaten down, like a dog that gets kicked all the time. Unfortunately management acknowledges this, but nothing changes. - Compensation package suffers comparatively to other tech companies in the area. - Budgets don't exist. They'll say you have a budget & autonomy to invest into "your business," but any spending be scrutinized and you'll be in the verbally abused. - Company is not honest about their customers, company size, or employee count. Often they boast to be bigger than they really are. Be aware of this!

Lean team so this can be a pro or con depending on the person. Pro for the people who can dig in and want to try new things. Con for those who need a lot of structure.

Pros

The clients are some of the best part of the company. Many of them really want to work with you and become close colleagues. At it's height, the travel was great.

Cons

Money management - no money for severance Software management - no new features for over a year. Only slight updates to a key areas and a UI update that was not managed by a UI/UX designer.
