Pros

You get to meet some wonderful people on the events team. Free snacks available in the break room. Great benefits.

Cons

Bullying is rampant throughout the organization, long hours with very little pay and only a 30-minute break. Do not relocate for this job. The company won't pay for it and it's not worth it. The only tech company I know that has poor quality tech, so many people on shift that you may not have a seat or computer to work on for about the first hour and a half of your shift. However, don't worry about that it's still your fault if you can't meet the arbitrary "goal" that they set for you that day. You also start out as a private contractor for the first three months. Meaning you don't get benefits or taxed for the first three months (More on that later). Remember those free snacks that were mentioned in the “pros” portion? Yeah, you get angry Slack messages to the company chat about eating them. Yes, your department is fussed at for taking advantage of the free snacks. On top of being yelled at for eating the snacks, God forbid if you take a snack or a drink home at the end of the day. You’ll be fired if they notice you’ve done that. They also only require certain team members to go through training in order to do tasks that are more advanced. Some are forced to sit through a training and others are just handed the task. In addition, there are different standards to what type of event is appropriate to share depending on a shift, a traffic accident may be the best story to put it for morning shift but may be the worst idea for swing or overnight. There will never be a legitimate reason why that is and it will change all the time. In addition, the company as a whole loves to exclude swing and overnight shifts from the company outings they host. By doing so they create this weird animosity between Morning and the other two shifts. Let’s circle back to the taxes. They never send you a 1099for your contractor period. You have to try to figure out who still works at the company (because no one has a phone number or a public email) to ask for your tax documents. When you finally jump through the hoops to find someone they send you a screenshot from someone’s phone of your 1099. I’m pretty sure the IRS wouldn’t like that. There’s also no HR department, so shady things happen all the time. There’s also no transparency so you’ll be lost in the organization a lot. The events team leads will often make things up or respond to questions with nonsense to avoid saying that they don’t know what’s going on.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Based on the content, this review is coming almost a year after the fact. We would love to address your points as we know them to be inaccurate. We don't tolerate any type of "bullying" in the work place. During the hiring process, we clearly outline the scope of work and the pay which according to the average wages in Las Vegas, Banjo pays well above the average. In fact, people who have left Banjo have asked if there were openings to come back because they were unable to find jobs with equivalent pay. Free snacks - unfortunately, we had an employee who was stealing and taking home duffle bags full of food and drink after every single shift. This meant a policy had to be enacted which was you can eat and drink all you want while you are here, but you are not allowed to leave with any food or beverage. Any angry comments over slack would have come from employees gossiping. To address 1099's, again that’s a distortion. Tax forms are mailed out and as one can imagine, not every form gets delivered due to change of address, inaccurate address, or a mistake within the USPS. When someone wrote in a panic, a copy was delivered immediately and a hard copy was sent to the proper address. We absolutely do have an HR department, although it's not in Las Vegas. Our team did not all quit, we had to part ways with those who were underperforming which unfortunately leads to distortions posted on Glassdoor. Hopefully your time at Banjo will help you be successful in your future roles.

Pros

I will list three reasons why I enjoy working as a dev at Banjo. 1) Justin Lindsey (JL) is a very personable CEO. He does a great job of getting to know his employees and recognizing their hard work. 2) Engineers are given autonomy and trust. We are not micromanaged (so long as we prove that we don't need to be). 3) The company fosters a supportive environment. Shortly after I joined the team, many devs reached out to welcome me to the team.

Cons

Hmmm I am required to write five words here, but there are not any cons that come to mind.

Pros

-Strong team members that understand big picture -Company dedicates itself to growth and success daily, from an individual entry level position all the way up to the CEO -Pave your own way mentality: titles won't be outright given, people have to earn them, but if they put in the work, their efforts are rewarded. -A startup solving an existential problem that has a pulse on the individual contributor. All ideas are met with possibility, maybe not all executed or implemented, but definitely addressed in some way. No idea is too grand or impossible, if it's a good one, it can and will be implemented for the betterment of the team. -Open Door Policy: Entry-level team members have opportunities to communicate with and learn from executives on a regular basis, providing growth and support along the way of an individual's time at the company. -Work hard to play hard: company has exciting incentives that are happening all the time, from bonuses to outings. -Adaptable open-minded work environment: team members put in what it takes to get to where they need to be, adapt to changes in tech constantly and keep a positive and open mental attitude about it, most people from less demanding work environments do not stay, making the culture full of people who are extremely dedicated to the company.

Cons

-Demands of team don't always match up with tech updates -Due to the sporadic, intense (yet exciting), day-to-day, communication and transparency from upper management can't always be executed in a timely manner, producing unintended consequences at times.
