No idea what they're doing

Pros

Location downtown makes for good lunch, dinner, and happy hour choices.

Cons

Upper management has no idea how to run a project. President is great at selling the illusion of success, but then no one has a clue how to deliver. Projects are always late, quality suffers, customers are always mad, most don't pay, and almost every project has been canceled. Many mgmt. personnel gossip openly about employees and bully others.

Pros

- you will meet some really talented and hardworking individuals - despite all the cons the company could have a great potential - marketing team is amazing - unlimited PTO

Cons

Apply with confidence if you love: - extreme micromanagement - pm nagging people multiple times a day which is disturbing and negatively affects their productivity - drama - gossiping - terrible (or should I say lack of) onboarding process - time tracking - hearing the word “budget” - uncertainty - unhappy people - unrealistic deadlines - poor communication - lack of job security - lack of career development - having to be onsite every single day with no exceptions (WFH is NOT encouraged even if you are sick. Seriously, colleagues showing up sick, coughing and sneezing during meetings and therefore getting others sick is practiced here) - being treated like a contractor even when you are a FTE - having to park in an awful garage which will cost you $175 (they will give you half back but you’ll pay tax on that) - low-end medical and vision insurance (good luck finding a doctor! As for vision, you’re out of network even at LensCrafters) - no 401K match, spousal insurance coverage or any other standard benefits other tech companies provide - lack of company sponsored outings/team building activities. If they ever happen, it’s mostly during lunch or after work hours

Pros

There are plenty of opportunities (in part due to high turnover) to pick up new skills by stepping into new roles. The leadership is generally comprised of self-taught individuals who are willing to give the same opportunity for on-the-job training (albeit at the customer's expense) to new employees. The company does have a nice holiday celebration with free food and drink at the end of the year. We all received protective covers for our company tablets as a gift this past year.

Cons

Projects are generally go over budget by wasting most of the allotted time going back-and-forth on visual designs that amount to nothing more than debates over personal opinions and preferences. Development usually starts behind the eight-ball and it's a mad rush to get something done. Staff is often unqualified, making it difficult if not impossible to recover.

I believe we are flexible and generous with our new hires and offer ample time to meet and interact with the client and the team. While I don't believe this review is representative of current employee sentiments, nor reflective of shortcomings in our client performance (our clients evaluate us at every turn and we listen), whenever a less than positive review is posted, we need to take heed and determine if changes need to be made. That is exactly what we are doing. And we are happy to discuss changes in the works with anyone who is considering employment with us. Again, we take all feedback seriously and are looking at whether our measures of success and performance incentives motivate the behaviors we know are essential for success. We appreciate this feedback and are intent on constantly improving. Marc Alringer President
