Pros

There are still a few individuals who truly know what they are doing and genuinely want to get the company healthy. Despite everyone is always dealing with their own emergencies, people do try to help when you ask for assistance. If you're talented and motivated, you could quickly move up in the ranks.

Cons

Tillster lacks the maturity one would expect from a professional software company. Company teams and leadership is too fragmented. A lack of processes and proper QA contribute to a chaotic and inefficient environment. It is well known throughout the company that several of our customers cost us more than they bring in yet more infrastructure is put in place (at Tillster's cost) and teams are distracted from more important ( likely profitable ) engineering efforts. We keep loosing too many of our engineers due to poor work/life balances and a lack of realistic planning. Who knows if venture capitalists will pull out funding once the Federal Reserve starts increasing interest rates and putting a stop to recent years of monetary policy.

Pros

Salary is paid on time Decent benefits Growing market opportunity

Cons

Simply speaking, the executive management is extremely dysfunctional and incompetent, like nothing I have ever seen in any other company. There is no vision, no objectives, no strategy, no processes, no guidelines, nothing! It starts with the CEO and other top executives (VPs). They are rich (Venture Capitalists) but totally incompetent at managing the business. However, they believe they are genius, super smart cause they got money, and believe they can overwork and throw any decent employee under the bus cause they own the money. They don't take responsibility for their mistakes and terrible management, but blame it always on the overworked and stressed out employees. They don't know how to run a growing business or even the basics for creating a profitable business. This business will never ever be profitable under the current management. They do not want to. That's clear in their decisions, day to day actions and deals. It goes so against conventional and rational business practices that after 10 years of private funding, it's really incredible they can still get funded. It's just hard to believe. However, good thing they do cause they can pay salaries for many overworked and unmotivated people. The unlimited availability of capital without business results and unbelievable support to such poor and deficient executive management, makes me think the board of directors are intentionally blind or in total denial.

Pros

There are a few great people here who really work hard. Flexible with working from home. Pay is pretty good.

Cons

Management focuses on blaming people and yelling at them. Teams aren't given the time and resources to get things done; setting them up to fail and then blaming them when things go wrong. Everyone is spread too thin.
