Pros

- I made some of my closest friends working at FiveStars - The company attracts incredible people that are both easy-going and relentless - They've made a lot of progress in building career paths and growth opportunities - Dogs, snacks and meals are all solid - Interesting and complex projects to work on - You're given stretch projects quickly (depending on your org)

Cons

- Still a young company so there are still areas for improvement in process and structure - Resources aren't what you'll get at a larger company, so you'll be pressed to hustle and do big things with what you've got

Pros

Flexible Schedule, Base Salary Competitive, Full Benefits, Room To Grow And Promote From Within, Acknowledge Hard Work, Perks...company retreats, cruise etc...

Cons

The only people not successful at FiveStars either don't put in the work, or are disorganized. Occasionally, from my experience, I see a person that is just a poor fit to sell in general...low energy, low output, low activity equates to low commissions.

Pros

they have the generic SF startup perks that are somewhat redeeming like free food, dogs in the office. You will also make good friends with some of your co-workers. I still hang out with former co-workers that have also moved on from FiveStars. It's great talking smack about that place now that we work at different companies and seeing how much we have each grown professionally after leaving.

Cons

Management is corrupted. I think the only team whose members weren't totally depressed coming to work was the engineering team,. Other teams like customer support, account managers, and sales have horrible management and high turn over as of late. I was in one of these teams and had good friends with the other teams. Fivestars has a lot of charm at first, but then you wonder why some managers and supervisors were put there in the first place. Once you get past all the charm and talk of great values, you see that no one is really inspired like they preach and in order to get ahead or be given opportunities you have to smooch the higher ups or get out.
