Pros

I enjoy my team and manager.

Cons

Recently implemented a new sick leave policy where you have to use PTO when sick and if you run out of PTO you don’t get paid. After a global pandemic I find it extremely irresponsible that they would make some people choose from staying home or not getting paid. It’s disappointing to have to reserve some of our already limited PTO in case you get sick instead of using that well earned time to take a break from work. I would’ve chose a different company if this was the policy when I got hired. Unobtainable goals to reach the 10% bonus. My boss told me that no one ever get a 5 on reviews which is needed to get the 10% bonus. Realistically you’ll get around 5% Kinda seems like they will hire anyone which means there’s a lot of inexperienced people that drag down some of the teams. Extremely low pay for the industry. If you’re not a programmer expect to make 20%-40% less then what you would at a direct competitor Can’t hold down a ceo or head of the company. They’ve been through 3 or 4 ceo/interm ceos since I joined 2 years ago. Work from home policy is only within Denver and is hard to get if you want to move out of state even though most rolls are fully remote.

Thank you for your feedback. We take all reviews seriously and appreciate that you took the time to submit this. When you do have a concern arise, please remember that you can always go through one of various channels we have created internally to support our employees. You can reach out directly to your manager for assistance, submit an HR ticket, or reach out to a member of our People Team. Regarding the PTO policy, we apologize if there was any confusion in the recent communication, however we can assure you that there was no change in our sick leave policy, and our current policy is the same as we have been following in recent years. As with all of our policies and benefits, we will always prioritize looking out for the best interest of our employees. In terms of goal setting, this is determined by each department, and you should work in conjunction with your direct manager. Filling the CEO role remains a top priority for FareHarbor. We are being intentional about who fills this role, which can take time. Thank you.

Pros

• Supportive coworkers — The people are genuinely kind, collaborative, and willing to help each other. • Fast skill development — You gain experience quickly because you’re exposed to a wide range of tasks. • Global team exposure — Working with international teams strengthens communication and adaptability.

Cons

• Constant change — The company’s direction changes often, the long‑term vision feels unclear. • Limited support — Teams are expected to figure out new tools and processes with minimal guidance. • Unstable foundations — New initiatives roll out before they’re fully ready or documented. • Overpromising — Clients may be promised capabilities that aren’t fully ready, which creates pressure on delivery teams. • High workload — Lean staffing, be prepared to juggle more than one person’s workload. • Reactive environment — Work often centers around urgent issues instead of a stable roadmap. • Low pay — Compensation does not reflect the pace or level of responsibility.
