Pros

Working with young people, being able to teach your seniors how to do work, drinking like management at work and after work, getting to see the owners of the company come in at noon and leave at three, and a nice looking work space with outdated equipment.

Cons

At Outerbox it is all about looking like the cool, hip startup when really the truth is most employees are run into the ground with a overload of work and then let go when burnt out. The clients are annoying but if run properly by those in charge would probably be fun to work on. Usually at Outerbox the "management" is all about getting the first two out of three payments and then not caring enough about their business to see the project thru until the end.When I was there most current employees, with myself included, we're searching for new jobs.Also Outerbox's management does look on this website on a frequent basis and influence their employees to post positive comments about their business. The statement of "all work done I house" is completely false. Almost all development is outsourced and the development that is done in house is very underwhelming and usually not delivered on time. It may look like there are a lot of employees that work there that is all just for show when clients come in. The fact is the less employees that work there means more profit for the owners. Their creative department is very dated in their execution and account management is usually sent out to drown in front of the client and make up excuses.

Pros

Some groups are very specialized and highly skilled There are some teams that care deeply about their clients and deliver really high performance Remote work Summer Fridays

Cons

The company has grown extremely fast but is not keeping standards up across the organization. It is clear that the quality of work and level of expertise varies significantly based on which team you are on. Some processes are built around certain offices or teams but don't consider the full organization. There is very limited engagement for culture events.
