Pros
The company is about 50 people and is still growing. Management has opened their door for feedback and conversation, which allows employees to feel like they can still help shape the direction and attitude of the company. The flexibility is great and allows employees to pursue other aspects of their life as they see fit; kids, vacations, etc. Management focuses on making the working environment as enjoyable as possible with a fully stocked kitchen, lunch deliveries, and a downtown location that is close to a very up-and-coming area. Focus on bringing in new and exciting work that catches the interest of the employees – not always just about making a buck or two. Management also seems to be giving more trust to senior employees to be able to run projects and make decisions in the best way they see fit, rather than having to get the okay from management every time.
Cons
Because the company is still growing, it's still trying to figure out where it's focus really is and how it wants to present itself to the outside world. Once the direction and branding is solidified, many more will have a more clear understanding of what Concentric Sky is and will want to take part. Additionally, the flexibility occasionally causes scheduling problems, but as long as all parties communicate, things stay on track. There's sort of a mixed message when initially walking in here, with Buddha statues and plants in the front lobby one might think we are a nail salon or that all of us practice Buddhism. I don't feel this is very professional or does a good job creating a first impression for other first time visitors. To me, the biggest problem with Concentric Sky right now is an identity crisis. Being clear about who we are will set the table for many more successful years to come.
