Pros

There were few. The NH office was better.

Cons

CEO, his father the CFO, low salaries, family business in the worst way, anyone with real experience has left, leaving children with little or no experience for the CEO to micro-manage, which he does with relish. It's not a "start-up" when it's 16 years old. The CEO has no other full-time work experience except this company, and his father doesn't know how to be a CFO. The CEO creates a borderline hostile environment, which is only less amusing than him and his father yelling at each other behind the thin closed door.

Interesting perspective considering this never happened. Passive aggressive posts are always the most entertaining, if completely false.

It's Not For Everyone.

Pros

As another reviewer mentioned, Jobscience is not for the 9-5 clock punchers out there; instead, it both breeds and requires absolute love and dedication of the company. Those that thrive here are self-motivated, creative, and insanely smart. Poor attitudes and laziness won't cut it here, so be prepared to work with the best group of people you've ever met- hands down. Give it your all, the Jobscience will take care of you. I'm certain the bad reviews on here are from former employees that just can't function in this highly-unstructured environment. If you need lots of handholding, this is not the place for you. However, if you thrive on change, rapid iteration, and collaboration, this is for you! Something about this company gets under your skin and really makes you want to work your butt off to see it succeed. Plus, you're working on Salesforce, which is great in every way, and the culture is fun, modern, and friendly. The workday goes by quickly!

Cons

The above said...Jobscience likes to change direction too quickly. We have little focus, and the scattered product design and lack of UX testing shows it. Those comments noting that a lot of time is spent placating customers or trying to explain away the product's "quirks" ring true, and it gets old fast. Rather than address these problems, the company either "band-aids" or just ignores them- often in favor of some new, half-baked feature full of its own set of issues. Employees end up paying for it in time and stress, yet nothing seems to change. You know the old Einstein quote..."Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Be prepared to bang your head on your desk and fight unnecessary fires. I'd call this "growing pains," but we're not a new company and we're not growing that rapidly. We just don't learn.
