Pros

Used to have a nice work space in the IT department and the building's proximity to Boulder was nice!

Cons

- Poor management. HR product has gone through 3 "start-over's" in 2 years. - CTO never listened to developers input as far as project estimates. - Unrealistic expectations about how code should be developed. - Poor understanding of the Agile SDLC. - No place for developers to move up on the corporate ladder. - Will "earn" more responsibilities without a pay raise. - It's company policy to pay employees in the bottom 25% of the regional salary range for their title / job duties. (Told to me by the CTO himself) - No expectation of job stability. Will fire you without warning whenever they want. - Entire company is a giant rumor mill. Expect to have any conversations taken out of context.

Pros

Flexible and supportive remote work environment.

Cons

Wish there were more company get togethers, but it's understandably hard when you have employees in so many different states.

Pros

The product is good, and fairly respected in the space.

Cons

Leadership could be better. Often times changes happen for the worse and you have to sit through an hour long call to hear why it’s great. Way too many internal meetings.
