Pros

Great hard working employees with a new modern headquarters. The job comes with some really nice perks like free drinks, coffee, and use of the gym. The best part of the job is working with the customers. It is a very loyal customer base that is willing to help the company along the path of R&D. The vertical market is fun, I mean who doesn't love amusement parks and other tourist attractions? The work life balance is pretty good and there is flexibility to work from home when needed. The benefits and salary is about on par with other similar positions in the area. From the begging this place seemed like the perfect company to work for. But...

Cons

There have been a lot of really strong leaders that I have seen come in over my time at the company that have quickly learned that their honest feedback is not appreciated. As long as you sit back and go with the flow and don't rock the boat than this is probably a really great place to work and you might never want to go anywhere else. The problem is many people demand more out of a company and have been around the block and know that this won't come from the over the top micro-management. It's really a shame because I feel like this company has the potential to be a great place to work and do more.

Falls Short of Greatness

Pros

Generally, the people here are wonderful--smart, friendly and genuinely hard-working with solid work ethics. The new modern building is fabulous along with all the extra perks that came with it including a gym, open, bright spaces, free beers, sodas, etc. The customers are fantastic—fun, energetic and willing to work as partners in research and development. Along with the customers comes the industries that the company supports—zoos, museums, amusement parks, tourist attractions--what’s not to love there? The benefits and salaries are pretty much on par if not a little better than other software development organizations. There is a decent push for work-life balance with flexible schedules and the ability to work from home. On paper, this place rocks. However…

Cons

For such a small organization with so many friendly people, there is an amazing lack of support among the teams and a definite feeling of “every man for himself”. Executive Leadership is more interested in finger pointing, placing blame, and accounting for every minute of every day than they seem concerned with moving the product and the company forward. There is a serious micro-management problem which in turn leads to a serious lack of collaboration, motivation, innovation and energy. Politics runs rampant—if you are well-liked, any outrageous behavior will be tolerated including acting rude and aggressive toward your coworkers. But, if you step out of line with some small imagined infraction and find yourself suddenly not part of the cool kids table anymore, you can be sure you’ll be made to suffer until you either quit or get fired. Recently the company has lost quite a few strong, competent, motivating leaders who could really have made a difference in culture. However, those proven leaders who have come on-board have quickly realized that open, honest feedback is not appreciated and skill sets and wisdom that were hard-earned elsewhere have no place to be put into practice here. It's really a pity, too, since this place certainly has the capacity and potential to be a great place to work.

Lots of potential, but...

Pros

Great team, great customers, great industry. Fun place to work in, family oriented, and flexible work place.

Cons

Weak human resources department. An environment of micromanagement, from the top down. If you speak up or disagree, you are put on the naughty list until you either quit or get fired. Your success is based on your relationship with the owners/management team. If you're "in" the circle, then you are set, if not, then it's over for you.
