Pros

Communication and conversation with leadership are frequent and open. Great to learn new things and try out multiple techs, areas of disciplines. Fun reward nights, community events, etc.

Cons

Hard to specialize when jumping between disciplines. Lower pay than at larger companies.

Pros

-Opportunity to gain a variety of technical skills and experience -Downtown location -Free snacks/beverages -Company outings

Cons

-Quarterly reviews, they provide the employee the opportunity to give feedback but it seemed that it would always be taken negatively. Your reviewed was based on how you represented the core values as an employee. If you did poorly in one category you were told to shape up by the next review (in three months) or be terminated. I felt this was a short amount of time to be able to fully improve. This made it very nerve-racking, you never know when your last day might be. -Team managers were rarely available (meetings all day long). This made it difficult for them to provide the employee with the tools they need to improve and succeed (to get a better review next time). -Getting help with an issue/problem was hard to come by -Condescendingly asked why you did something the way you did if management didn't agree with it -On-boarding new employees was a task that was discussed many times but never agreed upon so it made it difficult for new employees to get started on a good foot. -Below competitive wage compensation -A great deal of pressure put on you for tasks being done exactly on time and if you've gone over the time you are met with silent shame.

Our core values are centered around positivity, accountability, collaboration, quest for knowledge, and other traits that can proactively be improved through open discussion, which is the focus of our quarterly reviews. We are sorry you did not feel you had the necessary support from your manager. We are discussing ways to improve both our review process and onboarding process as a result of your feedback.
