Laid-back culturally but overreaching

Pros

The culture is really laid-back and informal; probably too informal, but I like it.

Cons

The people in charge of saying no say yes to too many things. The devs end up with things entirely out of scope, out of expertise, and out of reason.

Pros

I recently got laid off from G/O and am giving 5 stars to this great company, so take it to heart, this is a solid company that cares about you and it shows. Things are transitioning as they do in any business and it required that the workforce be modified accordingly and this is where they shined. The CEO worked out a plan and a deal that would give the laid off personnel 60 days notice and severance on top of that - so we have the time we need to find a new place to work. I've never heard of this before and what this company has done to help preserve the financial states of the people they care about (their employees) and the really care and it shows, is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much G/O for being a great company while I worked here (and am for another 60 days or so from now) and a great company when things changed. Props to Tim Fagan and all of the people who made this happen and for doing the best possible thing you could in this type of situation. Other Pros - culture is awesome, snacks snacks and more snacks, Great cafe for breakfast and lunch, amazing people to work with, solid fun job

Cons

It's hard to write cons for this company bc I have enjoyed working here so much and have found such a great group of ppl to work with. Any job isn't all roses, but this one came close.
