Pros

Decent pay ( but if you are a woman you will never make as much as the men - even if you do twice as much work).

Cons

The owner, Agie Sundaram, often brags about how he has never read a book. Any document, presentation or written work that comes from him has been researched and written by his staff. He does not read and he rarely writes. Titles are made and given willy-nilly. Basically SPAN and SecondBrick Technologies are just glorified call centers for average app-products. The job you think you're getting and what you will actually be doing are rarely the same thing. They put on a good show for the public so it will take you a few weeks to start noticing all the messed up things happening around this place. For example... Owner often refers to his employees as 'commoners' and will make comments about how he is above such things. No set timelines, goals, objectives or clear expectations and when they do they often change within days, weeks or along with the cloud cover. Owner Agie Sundaram and his closet upper management love to create tattletales and spies within a company because he does not trust his employees. Agie Sundaram is dishonest and deceitful. They do not value or respect team members' time, space, efforts, feelings, ideas or work. Extreme use of inappropriate disciplinary tactics (and often apply them with favoritism). It is common they harass and bully their staff. Pitting emloyees against each other, spying on their staff's personal social media and gossiping or inappropriately joking about staff's personal lives. CONSTANTLY taking credit for other people's ideas and advertise them as their own. They don't accept constructive criticism or ideas for improvement. Probably the worst offense, in my opinion, they don't trust their employees and rarely, if ever, empower their employees.

Pros

Great pay, casual dress, laid back place to work, fun on fridays. Great employees and CEO Agie is the best at what he does.

Cons

Sales calls are a challenge, but if your coachable and follow their instructions you will succeed.

Thank you for your comments. As a growing company, we are proud to make a significant contribution toward our employees’ health and life insurance. As we continue to grow, we will make more coverages available to our team, and more perks too. Catered lunches, a dedicated game room, and more are all planned for the future. Thanks, again!

Pros

The employees are very nice (those that are still there) and there's a great opportunity to learn about a wide variety of products.

Cons

"Customer Service" positions include cold call sales while taking inbound customer support. They advertise a laid back and fun work environment - this is not entirely untrue, but there are some fun events, however these do not outweigh the high pressure times. The owner can be the nicest person you will ever meet one minute and then yelling at you the next. He is very charismatic, but do not be fooled. There is a great deal of turnover and employees are constantly told if they don't like things that they can hit the road, because there are more people out there wanting jobs - while true, not good for morale. Working for this company is like a roller coaster ride based on the owner's attitude and moods. They kept promising health coverage, but this never came. They also promise flexibility, however are not consistent with who they are understanding of and who they are not. The list goes on and on.

We appreciate your feedback. While we do recognize the high-pressure nature of sales & support roles, that is an unavoidable part of the job. Also please keep in mind that we are a bootstrapped startup, so everything needs to move at hyperspeed. Some cope with this pressure better than others, but we try to make it manageable for all by offering a performance-based bonus, as well as setting aside times for stress-relieving activities, like our Friday afternoon Charades Parties. It’s all a part of our business philosophy: play hard, work harder. Also, as of January 1st, 2014, we do provide health and life insurance for our team across the board and contribute to the cost as well. Thank you again for taking the time to share.
