Pros

* Get to use a lot of upcoming technologies * The engineers are fun to work with, make some good friendships

Cons

* New CTO literally understands none of our product and makes no attempt to understand it * Turnover is high, engineers quit monthly, all original knowledge of product is practically gone * Communication is horrible, engineers lie too often about what can be done so managers set unreasonable deadlines * People are lied to about job description when brought on * In the between phase of being a start-up and being corporate and no one has any idea how to manage this * CEO does not care about engineers whatsoever * Toxic environment prevents anything from getting done * Code quality is bad * Salary and benefits not worth the environment

Thank you for your review! Since this review has been posted rewardStyle has made great strides in wanting to better the Engineering department and rewardStyle as a whole. We hired a new CTO in June that has drastically changed the direction and culture of the Engineering department to be a more positive working environment. As for salary and benefits we have made significant changes in the last 2 years from offering no benefits to establishing the full spectrum of insurance and retirement plans. For 2015 we increased employer contributions to 50% of the total health premium, offer dental, vision, FSA, Basic Life, Long-term Disability, Short-term Disability, Supplemental life, Teledoc, 401(k) plan, added sick days, and Birthday PTO. We also continue to have Summer hours, free monthly chair massages, breakfast and lunch every week, fully stocked kitchen and bar, fun employee events, and employee discounts with local restaurants and stores near the office. The HR department sends out culture surveys every year seeking feedback from employees on what employees like and what we can do better and continuously strive to make changes and improve our work environment. We have come a long way the last 4 years and we will continue to make rewardStyle a fun and laid back atmosphere where people want to come to work.

Pros

- Used to be a really cool place with innovative, forward-thinking people everywhere. (A lot of the pros are "used" to be"] - There's room to get to know the people you're working with - Good brand recognition - Sometimes people have good ideas you can run with

Cons

Everything about the company now vs. 2-3 years ago is different and in a bad way. Everything is so very disjointed. Decisions are reactive and completely not thought through - they're also being made by tech bros who are simply not the target audience of this brand. They are out of touch and it's ripped the passion and potential right out of the business. Everyone feels like glorified taskhorses. No legit appreciation is given to anyone. All the things that used to make LTK great are no longer and, sadly, that probably means that ShopMy will absolutely run them into the ground. So much potential here which has been disappointing to watch disappear. Senior leadership ahs absolutely no idea what they are doing and they keep throwing things at the wall.
