Growing small company with big company benefits.
Pros
You are in charge of your own destiny. Everyone from the CEO to the Head Chef (yeah we have a head chef) is accessible and open to suggestion. The company frequently values opinions and is transparent about the business, company and individual goals, financial targets, challenges and the future. The people are nice. We have lots of great benefits. Breakfast and Lunch is made fresh and there is a fixed menu or you can order what you like and they will make it. All the typical games like pool, ping-pong, foosball, shuffleboard, boxing simulator, golf simulator, full gym and outdoor volleyball court etc.. lots of fun stuff to do. A wheel of fortune for folks that have gone above and beyond that week, cash prizes from $50 - $500. People here tend to work hard and play hard. There is a hands-off management culture that empowers you to be the best you can be and holds you to self-identified goals. The office has a great family vibe, there is an onsite bar and restaurant and it gets used by workers, families and friends. You will have the opportunity to grow and be challenged in a positive environment. You are expected to speak up and own the outcome, its a huge part of our mission; Have fun, and create value over the long run. Very competitive salaries and additional opportunities to share the fruits of your labour by taking part in the employee stock purchase program.
Cons
There has been a lot of steady growth and that has meant some new structure and processes are being put into place. This part of the culture is not perfect and you will be part of a group of people with good intentions that are trying to find a balance between structure, fun, accountability and excellence. Fortunately, if you are vocal and open to change you will have a say in how this is developing. Biggest downside for those who care about it is that we are out of downtown and not really part of a business park where we meet people from other companies near where we work. If that is important to you, you should know that we own our building and take great pride in making it a fun place to invite others.
