Pros

People are friendly and work together to get the job done.

Cons

Management is clueless about everything! They have no idea how to run a project and assume people will work late nights and weekends to finish a project that they gave unrealistic deadlines too. Not enough people to get the job done. They would rather meet a date with a project than have a better quality project a few weeks later.

Pros

Company is growing rapidly. Lots of opportunity to make an impact and make a difference. Fairly flat organizational structure with access to leadership.

Cons

Bullying mentality mistaken for tough love/ leadership style. Collaboration and relationship building are not valued. More of a a command and control style.

Laughable - Be Aware HR is asking employees for positive reviews

Pros

Notice that the majority of the positive reviews are done in same time frame. Current employees at the company have confirmed that HR is asking (and creating) positive reviews.

Cons

The employee centric culture is for public consumption only. High stress, long hours, layoffs and low pay. Current employees are telling me I was lucky to get out when I did. They say its only getting worse.
