Pros

The office is in a cool area and lunch is catered 3x a week. Those are the only pros.

Cons

This company is unfortunatly plagued with, from my experience, a very toxic culture. The CEO is a very imposing figure whom I have wittnessed publically belittle employees on several occasions. Every department is at the mercy of his moods and often, it is hard to get anything accomplished because of this. Upper Management (especially in the sales and account management departments) has a habit of gaslighting their underlings because they are fearful of becoming subject to one of the CEO's temper. This whole dynamic is not sustainable and makes for a really uncomfortable atmosphere. My own experience at this company as a female in sales was truly awful, I am so happy that I'll never have to go there again.

Pros

None. None. None. None. None.

Cons

There is 0 structure. 0 management. No one knows what they are doing and they lie. They rather hire someone who doesn’t know and is cheap then quality. Michael, the CEO, cannot be trusted.

Pros

Some good stuff including catered lunch, good office spot, some happy hours Smart people

Cons

Seem to be all of the cons of a start up without any of the perks. Weird management structure. People seem to be smart but upper management especially the CEO get involved in every little decision which makes it hard to get anything done.
