What could be great...isn't.

Pros

When in management's favor, there is flexibility and support and motivation to grow.

Cons

When not in management's favor, nothing you can do is recognized and everything is seen as a reason to get rid of you.

Pros

Everyone sees the sales and how well the company is doing. People work together towards goals set by management. The health benefits are very good and the employer contribution is very generous. Everyone pulls their own weight and is very good at what they do or they don't stick around.

Cons

Culture is probably a bit stiff and it is a very quiet office. Not a lot of drama at all.

Great place to gain experience, but not to develop a career

Pros

-Great customer service and responsiveness towards customers, especially in the software industry. -General open communication within the company, CEO is forthcoming and honest with general direction and forecasting of the company. -Relaxed work environment, good work-life balance. -Team building events/lunches/dinners.

Cons

-Rigid senior management, not open to new ideas outside of their own train of thought. -Too much time, effort, and money allocated to SEO and not enough on actual software development to fix age-old bugs and issues that consistently get brought up by customers -Lack of communication and cooperation between departments. -Knee-jerk responses to market fluctuations seem to cause more harm than good. -Website is an absolute clutter and can be confusing and discouraging for prospective customers. Many pages are outdated in both design and content. -Constant changes to software versioning/branding and pricing is extremely confusing both internally and to customers.
