Pros

Great team to collaborate and challenge yourself to grow as a profressional. Because TA has an open office environment, you get to know everyone in the company well which makes it easier to communicate and get projects done (which can sometimes be challenging in larger companies, based on previous experiences). Awesome perks - free lunch, quarterly team outings, contests, goal-hitting incentives I've worked for three companies in my career so far, the other two being large corporations - I've never felt more appreciated and challenged than I do at TA. Every day is different and it never gets boring here. Everyone(literally) is always eager to help with whatever you need.

Cons

Younger company than most with less experience - can be positive and negative depending on how you look at it. Gives you lots of opportunity to grow and be a leader, but might take longer since there is less experience to guide you. Some team members don't know how to separate work from personal life which is needed to have a balanced lifestyle -- can be challenging sometimes but not a constant thing.

Pros

Cool office space, some of the people are genuinely nice, lots of traditional "hard workers"/ seat warmers, free lunches (which are meant to keep you there and to compensate for low pay) and monthly team outings. Some people really enjoy dedicating their life to this company.

Cons

TA advertises "flex time" that really really is not flexible. Life outside of work is challenging. People choose whether to go exercise or buy groceries. They have a "generous" vacation policy, which is recommended in the handbook to two weeks and most people work during their time off. The pay is low and you are expected to work 50+ hours without overtime. Hard work is not about how smart or experienced you are, it is how much "time" you spend at the office or online doing work.

TechnologyAdvice prides itself in hiring very smart people who are capable of managing ambitious work-related goals and metrics while also enjoying life outside of the work environment. Many of our team members take extended time away from the office for personal as well as professional growth. In 2015, the average team member took 24 paid days off during the year, a number we are proud of. We challenge our employees with professional goals to hit each week and month, and while some employees may occasionally work more hours during certain times, we generally hold to a 45 hour work week across our company. The author is correct, our team members are not paid overtime. Instead of hiring hourly workers, we opt to bring on team members who are salaried with complex roles and responsibilities. These positions also come with a full benefits package which is considerably above market. The fact that the author talks about not being paid overtime for a salaried position, while also discussing the company’s discounting of intelligence and experience, is peculiar. TechnologyAdvice does not make it a habit to respond to reviews on Glassdoor as we feel most reviewers have been fair with their assessments to date. However, we felt it is important to clarify a few items from this review.
