Pros

Salary is good-ish but no amount of money was worth the absolutely toxic environment that this company has. At least now I know what to look for to avoid a company like this.

Cons

- Nepotism: I have never seen nepotism like I did at this company. Upper management hiring their friends and they hire their friends to fill other positions. - Bullying: As if the micromanaging of absolutely incompetent managers wasn’t enough, the only tool they use to (i use this term very loosely) “motivate” the employees is intimidation, closeted threats and basically bullying. - This company embodies all the worst cliches of an evil American corporation. Not a smidge of respect for their employees, no compassion. They don’t see you as human beings so don’t expect humanity. Unless you’re a friend, then you’ll get handed leads and praise even if you’re not doing anything worthy, while the actually talented few people get overworked and overlooked. - Also since the reviews on here are showing their true face they’re asking employees to write 5 star reviews, which is not surprising because this kind of behavior is second nature.

Pros

Working with truly wonderful, smart, and competent coworkers. Good mission. Walks the "Employees are family" talk with exceptional benefits, such as half days every other Friday, unlimited PTO, and lots of tiny benefits that add up to a lot of love. Most employees like most other employees, which is huge. There is a lot of trust going both ways.

Cons

Salaries are lower than you could get elsewhere and the organization runs lean in terms of available hands to solve the many issues. I think it's a good tradeoff in return for which you get stability that's rare in tech; they're slow to hire, slow to promote, but they're slow to fire, and so far I've never seen a layoff.

Pros

Remote first, and FastSpring Friday's are amazing.

Cons

Will have a lot on your plate most of the time. You'll get to learn a lot.
