Pros

* Depending on the department, great coworkers * Depending on the department or business unit, great workspace * Free food, free coffee, and free parking

Cons

There are some hourly employees, but most are salaried employees. So the expectation is that you will work 45-50 hours a week, and up to 60-70 hours a week or more if you are with the Insite team. I have heard that the CEO gets bored on a Saturday morning and starts calling employees on the Insite team just to chat. It could be 8 a.m. and you're making or eating breakfast with your kids, or it could be at 9 a.m. on a Sunday when you're getting ready for church. It doesn't matter to the CEO. I walked by the glass conference room twice and have heard the CEO say to employees in the room, "I pay your salary. I own you and your time." Also, if SBM gives you a phone, expect that an executive will call you off hours just to yell at you or ramble on because they are bored.

Pros

Coworkers were great - I built friendships & relationships in a productive environment.

Cons

The CEO and the rest of the senior leadership team really does not understand how to successfully build, grow and maintain their company.

Pros

The production-level employees are a dream. Experienced and knowledgeable, they are a lot of fun and always willing to help. The workspace is well equipped and shocked with great coffee, drinks and snacks. The compensation level is way above market.

Cons

The CEO is a deeply paranoid, mixed-up, fickle, and verbally-abusive blowhard. He lacks respect and trust for all of his employees, maintains unrealistic expectations, and harbors nothing but contempt for the people he views as overpaid charlatans, regardless of their professionalism or expertise. If you think he won't be involved enough in your day-to-day to merit concern, think again. The INSITE platform is of particular personal interest to him, and he delights in being a wildly inconsistent, woefully under-informed micro-manager of the project and the team. The team lives in fear, as his communication style can be described as "forceful intimidation," and his whims often lead him to eliminate entire departments when he changes his mind or becomes displeased for any non-reason. The compensation level offered by this company is high because otherwise, they would have no way to attract the talent needed to get the job done.
