Growing is tough but it

Pros

The growth of the company has opened up many opportunities for everyone in the company. The management team has an open door policy and listen to those who choose to take advantage of that.

Cons

The growth has been fairly quick so it can seem a bit disorganized at times however the company and management is fully aware and doing what they can to make things run smoother while still striving to keep the small company culture alive.

Terrible.

Pros

Nice perks (free soda, massages, free lunch once a week) Most people were generally friendly

Cons

If most of the negative reviews seem to be from Appleton, it's because management clearly showed that they did not value the employees in the Appleton location. There is obvious favoritism. The technology team and management are not open suggestions for improvement or other perspectives and will either completely ignore it or actually tell people to stop giving feedback (!). The culture is very cliquey and unless you are willing to suck up, your suggestions for improvement will not be taken seriously. Communication between the two locations is very poor and it can take an unreasonable amount of time to get an answer to a simple question. This is compounded by the fact that nobody really seem to know what parts of the system are supposed to be doing.
