Pros
Pay is competitive with other tech companies. They have some big contracts that should result in strong recurring revenue for the company for years to come. They have parties once in a while, and provide lots of PTO. Everyone is generally friendly. Nerf wars are almost a daily routine.
Cons
Atmosphere: Cynicism and stress. Tillster is in pretty deep. Most of the LA office is dead weight. The toxic atmosphere from LA emanates into the other offices (no pun intended- tillster used to be called EMN8). Employees who challenge executive decisions risk being yelled at or worse. Deadlines: As a result of always being deadline-driven, Tillster's wounds are self-inflicted. If we could slow down long enough to do things right, maybe not every project would be ladened with technical debt. Management: Executives and sales force seem to have a distorted picture of our solution. Mid level managers are constantly battling over "resources," because most engineers are either gone or burned out. They also have to fight the endless stream of requirements that seem to flow in from every direction. This can be especially difficult when most of the requests are in conflict with the concept of a scalable product. Hiring practices: Tillster affixes "Pre-IPO startup" to each open job posting, presumably in an effort to attract better talent. After several years, they still haven't gone IPO. Someone also posted some bogus positive reviews here on Glassdoor a while back.
