Company going through too many transitions

Senior web engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers and everyone works hard. Laid back.

Cons

There's so much turnover. Always checking my inbox for a goodbye email, or a restructuring one. The whole company went from public to private, so there's no real clue as to where the company is going. The CEO position changed 4 times just in the last 4 years. Also, when hired, it seemed like there would be opportunities to transition from one team to another, but that wasn't true.

Pros

This is the absolute worst place in the world to work. They bait you to thinking it's a family oriented company when all they care about are numbers. Do not come to work for them it will waste your time and sanity. There is no work life balance at all. They use you up and take your ideas, then let you go when they don't need you anymore. Management is the worse and has been for the last year. They keep losing long term people and wonder why.

Cons

Do not come to work here!
