Pros

The best thing about this company is that it’s easy to get in the door and get some experience out of college.

Cons

Compensation for developers is well below market average even for entry level developers. Stay longer than a year and you’ll develop terrible habits, learn on ancient tech stacks, follow terrible design principles and in general become a bad developer. If you need a job and you have little or no experience then go for it otherwise steer clear. This place is probably one of the most toxic work environments in technology you can find in the twin cities. You have to be in the building from 8-5 with a mandatory one hour lunch which must be taken between 11-2. Go over your designated one hour and you’ll hear about it. Show up 5 minutes late because traffic was bad, you’ll hear about it. Kid is sick and you want to stay home, burn a full PTO, no chance of working from home. This place doesn’t treat you as if your a human and no consideration is taken for your life outside of work. The CEO Sassan doesn’t care about his employees or there well being, just whether or not they are making him money. One of my colleagues was awarded an anniversary placard and Sassan couldn’t even pronounce his name despite having worked there five years. He’s even used scare-tactics to get us to work harder by telling us about how he fired and employee who made a mistake on the job because “mistakes aren't acceptable here”.

Pros

Onboarding was exceptionally friendly from the moment I accepted the offer through my first day onsite. Great office culture — so many people took the time to welcome me. Positive first impression thanks to a team that genuinely cares about new employees.

Cons

No on‑site food options. Limited walking areas near the campus.

We appreciate your feedback regarding on site food options and agree this is an area we can improve. We are already exploring healthier vending and snack solutions to better support employees’ needs.

Only good Pro's are: - Good Pay - Great Benefits

Cons

1. Limited Training for New Employees: One of the most frequently repeated criticisms is insufficient onboarding and training. 2. Micromanagement: Strict monitoring of employee time, attendance, and workplace activities. Management is highly controlling. 3. Low Compensation: Low salaries, minimal raises, and limited bonuses are among the most common complaints across review platforms. 4. Limited Flexibility: There is little to no remote work options and strict attendance requirements. Difficulty balancing personal needs with workplace expectations. 5. Slow Career Advancement: Promotions and growth opportunities can be limited or slow. 6. Management and Culture Concerns: Poor communication, lack of employee support, resistance to change, favoritism, and management practices that some employees describe as unsupportive.
