Pros

Zero, zilch, nada, I knew this was a bad place to be 5 days in but I didn't want such a short stint on my resume.

Cons

Founder and CEO is an ego maniac that yells at everyone. Meetings are spent pointing the finger at someone/anyone so you don't get screamed at.

Pros

Offered a solution that is a need in the industry. Denver office seemed tight knit. Centrally located in LoDo area of downtown.

Cons

No training offered by Denver office in regard to their solutions. Expected to generate revenue immediately, although business development process takes longer in reality. Interview and offer were misleading, based on actual expectations. No revenue goals discussed during interview, but within a month was told of this expectation. Management was overly aggressive both in private and in group settings.

Pros

If you can last long enough to qualify for it, their top tier time off is very nice. They do provide a lot of benefits.

Cons

Very aggressive and insulting CEO who insists on micromanaging software development. I have never been screamed at more in any other company I have worked for. Most of the employees now are treated like tools and are easily cast aside. The benefits they have are only so they can claim they have them. They have health care, and did before it was required, but it was never stellar. They have 401k match, but it is capped exceptionally low with a very low match rate. Most of the employees in the company would never hit the cap, but that is because most of them are so poorly paid even if they could afford the 4% personal contribution to hit the employer percentage cap they don't make enough in a year to hit the flat dollar amount cap. The employees that earn enough to hit the cap would find the flat dollar cap insulting. They have largely replaced most of the executive management team and they appear to be heading towards an international outsource mentality, so I would not be surprised to see significant cuts in the workforce.
