Pros

None, was not a culture I cared to be a part of

Cons

Their PTO was well below industry standards. Benefits were not good. If this is your first job and you enjoy playing foosball and having to join in on after work activities this may be a good place for you.

Pros

This is hard... wait! Because they lose so many people from quitting job security if you do stay seems good. Because they can't possible afford to fire anyone.

Cons

There are a lot of things but it really starts with the CEO/Owner. The business is ran like a startup but has been around for 17 years. Disorganized, awful condescending culture, poor direction, conflicting direction, sad. Sometimes that can be ok though if the pay is great and the commission is obtainable... but it's not. The problem all comes back to the top. If you imagine that boss who should never manage people then have that person running a company. That's fishbowl. Ps commission is paid quarterly. AND if you leave at any point before the month after the last quarter ends you get paid nothing on the work you did for last four months. Seriously. Watch the flags here. I didn't.

Leadership That Doesn't Lead

Pros

With very few exceptions, those in non-leadership positions are stellar and fun to work with. Ping pong table + foosball complement the beer fridge nicely.

Cons

Leadership (with the exception of ONE individual) obstructs every opportunity they have to grow the company. Strategy and vision are relatively unimportant, which results in a concern that the company won't be able to pivot when Oracle's technology proves to be less and less profitable. Micromanagement and mismanagement are the best ways to describe leadership's approach to leading.
