Good growing company with many growth and leadership issues

Pros

Good benefits and really nice people. Office is decent and feeling of the office is very much a family. Good unlimited time off policy. I really enjoy working with many of the people I work with on a regular basis. Great work life balance. Great to be part of a company that is growing as fast as we are. CEO is very smart and when focused can be a great leader.

Cons

Definitely not top tier talent and it is very clear many senior people have position because of relationships and not skill. Very fast growing but that means weakness in leadership is showing more and more. Way too much focus on friends and partying then results or who is actually getting results. Pay is low to very low for most positions.

Fine company, but tries too hard to be hip and is very inconsistent with pay grades within departments.

Great projects to work for.

Cons

Shoddy managerial skills in most departments. Pay rates are incredibly inconsistent, even though many higher earners work far less than lower earners.
