Pros

Great location - downtown. Access to mass transit.

Cons

• Entire I.T. Architecture and direction run by a group of 3 people that lack sufficient architectural skills. • Senior engineers are not empowered to leverage their skills and add positive changes to infrastructure. Initiative and creative thought is discouraged and often ignored. • No open door policy; management operates in a bubble and does not allow collaborative communication. • Management does not permit subordinates going to senior management. • No continuity at senior I.T. positions. • Turnover rate is horrendous. I.T. department has turnover rate of 6months. • Senior management hires people from previous failed companies. • No bonus program or performance-based incentives. • Employee review system is ambiguous and lacks a goals-driven component. Management assigns raises based on ‘subjective’ criteria. • No training or expectation of training or career development. • Much of datacenter runs on legacy hardware with aging applications. Company culture is anti-progress and fearful of future technology. • No vacations allowed during late fall and early winter. I.T. elements made to sit in war room and “wait” for outages during holiday periods. • Major outages happen on a weekly basis. • Compensation is inconsistent and unethical; 2 people working in same position have drastically different pay.

Pros

You get to do multiple peoples jobs.

Cons

Little vacation time, bad 401k matching, 1-ish% raises yearly, everything is a rush. I’d invent a new phrase for this company: “macro-micro management.” Leadership constantly pushes arbitrary KPIs, and even when you meet or exceed them, performance is still judged subjectively based on management’s feelings rather than actual analytics or results. There’s a persistent culture of surveillance and criticism with very little constructive feedback or direction. It often feels like, “I don’t know what I want, but it’s not this.” Sales lacks clear strategy, marketing feels disconnected and uninspired, and morale across teams is extremely low due to turnover and frequent firings. Overall, the company environment feels unstable, poorly managed from the top down, and difficult to trust as an employee. I would not recommend working here. Full of “yes” people with no strategy.
