Hipster graphics design shop / bike showroom, not software company

Pros

Proximity to Coors field. Don't forget the cover sheets on your TPS reports! Giant distracting screens all over office, which doubles as a showroom; zoo-exhibit atmosphere.

Cons

Cheesy proprietary technology which isn't multi-platform. Overwhelming desire to be hip - product features referred to as "apps". Loud and overcrowded office with zero parking. Spotty internet connection and low budgets for everything; free services used all the time. Exclusive use of aging Microsoft technologies; firm completely caught off-guard by iOS and Android. Disdain for open source projects based on fear and lack of understanding. High turnover. CEO comes across as used car salesman.

A Hot Mess

Pros

Amazingly resilient and loyal people. Company experienced hard times because of covid, everyone being out of office, and not travelling. But company is now bouncing back. New acquisitions have added to the armor.

Cons

Leadership team continues to ignore employee concerns and red flags. Engineering has daunting task of integrating multiple complex systems together, but the new head of technology doesn't know tech. Just wants everything "cheaper and faster", and to outsource everything to India. A real motivator.

A lot of promise, but concerned about its future

Pros

* Amazing group of talented, dedicated people to work with * Very cool product * Opportunities to work in nearly ever market * Opportunities to travel domestically and internationally * Part of an exciting, up and coming industry * Fun office environment * Remote work flexibility (especially if you're good at what you do) * Opportunities to define your own role (especially as your time with the company grows)

Cons

* Poor salaries, especially given the industry and the company's age * Additionally, asking for a compensation review is often met with a brush off and a sense that you ought to be happy to work at Four Winds * Terrible benefits (10 vacation days per year, lackluster health insurance, zero 401k matching, etc.) * Management that, at times, seems aimless and wandering with its strategies * A heavy, heavy focus on sales as "the good guy who makes the company money" and operations as "the bad guy who screws up everything we try to do" * Additionally, heavy focus on hiring individuals who can bring business in, but a lacking focus on hiring individuals who can deliver the projects * Many half-baked ideas that start as pet projects of higher ups and, 6 months later, find themselves in the garbage bin (after much headache, tension, and stress on the company to start implementing them) * Territorial environment where people unwilling to stand up for themselves often get run over
