Young and hungry business with a ton of upside and a great product.

Pros

Talented staff. Top of the line technology. CEO takes a hands on approach which shows his passion for the product. Rapidly growing company that realizes that with quick growth can bring enormous challenges. Not afraid to make mistakes and improve upon them. Lots of fun activities from yoga classes, hikes with executives, golf outings, the list goes on and on.

Cons

Better procedures for employee reviews. It is not necessary to give a raise but it is always good to let the staff know how they are doing. The building can be a bit cramped but it is a neat space. Parking is a huge challenge due to construction but they have managed to deal with it pretty well.

Pros

The people that work here are dedicated, focused and very smart. The technology is something every company should embrace and it is one of the coolest products to sell. Monthly Team outings are great and the casual work environment and dress code is a big plus coming to work everyday. Most of the Sales Managers want to see you do your best and try to push you that way. We are growing very fast and our technology is built to adapt to that.

Cons

With fast growth comes the growing pains. The office is horrifically over crowded and parking is a big issue. The building is not a suitable office environment even if it is in the LoDo district. Changes come all too often and are not always for the better. A lot of times every perspective is not taken into account when a change is made so it hurts us, especially in front of a customer. Many processes and procedures are comically outdated. Collaboration between sales teams and other departments is very non existent. While some larger clients have everything thrown at them, everyone else is left to fend for themselves. Cross departments sometimes feel like they resent one another. Benefits could be much better. Many former employees left because they were not being paid fairly despite their product knowledge, experience and long working hours without overtime. Often times HR seems disorganized, confused and can tell you one thing but switch to something else. HR holds a lot of the blame for this and there does not seem to be any solution in sight. Benefits are weak compared to other companies and its a large reason why people chose to work elsewhere.

Could be a great company if it can come to terms with some shortcomings

Pros

Great people who really care. Great product that appeals across the board. Diverse market penetration. Dynamic CEO who really believes in the company and it's people. Wildly successful with amazing upside potential. Explosive growth and opportunity. Everyone stands by the customers no matter what the cost. Recognition is rampant. Great focus on rewarding people for the contributions that they make. Leadership has the best of intentions.

Cons

Disparity of resources across departments. Some areas are well staffed or over staffed while others fight to get additional headcount approved. Change fatigue. You can't change everything at once. Lack of clear vision. Trying so hard to be everything to everybody. It's OK to be focused. Cultivating a culture of yes men / women. Diversity of opinion or experience is not really appreciated unless it's in support of the idea being presented. Micromanagement is pretty rampant. Broken processes and immature internal systems.
