Pros

Work/Life balance is fantastic People are helpful and collaborative Unlimited sick days Scott Hudson writes newsletters very often and they are super insightful and worthy of saving to read and re-read rest of your life. Never seen CEO taking time to do that. Keep it going, Scott! Scott comes by once in a while and provides a personal touch. Incredible, Scott!

Cons

Old aged company means you would be working with plenty out of date processes and technologies Atleast in the BI department, there is no process / structure. Very micro-managed company due to budgeting issues (time reports have to be done everyday and have to account every 15 min for every single phase of every project). If you bill more than 2.5hrs of admin a day, you have to provide report on what you did for admin time. Too many redundant meetings Too cost concious Pays low; insurance is the worst I have ever seen No salary bump at year end; instead they give you 12% bonus (accounts for a lot but could be manipulated)

Pros

Salary was in market range.

Cons

Manager took zero interest in me. I spoke to her 2 times in the 6 months I was there. It’s just an endless grind to various SEC and investor required reporting. By the time you finish you need to start over. Almost all process are broken. This $13B company runs on excel. It’s a real risk that this company collapses on itself. They purchase companies and destroy everything good about their cultures. I was so happy and content until they purchased us. The executives paint a fake picture of their culture to the street.
