Pros

Pros are the ability to work remotely. Company has largely been remote since 2020. Decent PTO including your birthday. Exposure to working with clients around the world. Benefits are fairly standard with good, but expensive, insurance, FSA, Salaries are generally at market rates but do not expect cost-of-living raises or a raise except every few years.

Cons

Poor communication from management on company health, objectives, goals. Employees disappear due to layoffs with no word from management. Here today, gone tomorrow. Frequent layoffs in 2023 and 2024.

Pros

Beautiful office and free coffee and tea

Cons

Negative work culture. Employees are allowed to yell at others openly without consequence. Salary employees made to work 7 days a week without additional compensation. Management is non existent. CEO has been witnessed to openly yell at employees. No diversity in the Washington and Alabama office. Plenty in the Cancun office.

Pros

Jenkon has a group of talented people. Developers, Scrum masters, and IT all have people that are great to work with. The dress code is casual and the Birmingham location is somewhat central to lunch options in the city.

Cons

The talented people I mentioned above are being stifled, abused, and ruled by fear and intimidation of a CEO that inserts himself in every aspect of the business and development cycle. Too concerned with his wallet then then the moral and focus of his team members, he chooses to bully them into making unrealistic estimates and deliverables all in the name of being able to bait these naive customers into agreeing to pay Jenkon more money than should be necessary, only to be delivered buggy software that the CEO then turns around and charges them time and materials to fix. This leaves the backlash of an angry customer to the shoulders of a development team only doing what a crazed leader instructed them to do against the pleas of the team only wanting to deliver a solid working product to be proud of.
