Pros

You set a lot of your own hours, along with the staff that you put in place.

Cons

The middle management in the University division was the worst I've ever seen. Obscene, vulgar, and rude are understatements. The goal is to work managers more than 80 hours a week and keep margins high

Pros

Casual dress code, Employee appreciation events: birthday, holidays, Open communication welcomed with whiteboards and pep rallies, Semi-annual pay increases for Level 1 = $1/year, Competitive benefits (medical/dental...etc), Communication seems to be better, FAN is great if you can be a part of that, HR is better than ever, Support of volunteerism even if it's only the stuff HR or whoever chooses the cause is worthy

Cons

Points policy is inconsistent (I know people who work here were in a car wreck together and their points were excused but I'm stuck behind a wreck that's even on the news and my point isn't?) No documented processes, Favoritism, Political and hard to communicate because HR is married to supervisors, If you're not 'zon you will be gone, the feeling that we should grin and bare it even though we try to talk about our concerns but no one wants to do that because some who have power will just hold it against you anyway, employee handbook is wrong because we have to use PTO for holidays and the Ops Admins said that we have a different policy here but we haven't seen it in writing so we'll get pointed and not get paid for holidays even though it says we get the holiday and don't have to use PTO, not sure how I can move up because no one tells me

Pros

The facts are, you can't please all the people all the time, and that there will always be specific cases where individual managers or employees aren't a great fit with the current culture. Read through the reviews of the company and you'll see both that the company used to be great and no longer is, and that the company used to be a disaster and is now on the path to being great. Perspective and fit matter. I fall into the camp that feels that the company is on the path to greatness. That's not to suggest there aren't big challenges, because there are. But the fundamental culture is shifting to one in which employees are respected, challenged, and empowered; planning goes beyond the next quarter; leadership sets a high bar; and creating a great place to work is a priority. Pros: Passionate, experienced leadership team, focused on vision and culture Openness to new ideas Transparent with information Building technology for the future while delivering current growth High hiring bar Dress code and snacks don't make this list -- if that's what you care most about, this may not be the company for you

Cons

Not enough dev bandwidth for ambitious agendas (definitely not unique) Over reliance on tribal knowledge - need for better documentation and clear process ownership Perception not catching up to reality - new offices in Jacksonville and San Mateo are significant upgrades
