Pros
Tilson Technology is a unique company and employer in every sense. Tilson is the fastest growing, hardest working, most challenging company for which I have ever worked. For me, and for my colleagues, Tilson provides the greatest opportunity to challenge oneself with growth only limited by your own efforts and desires. Tilson hires smart people, gives them autonomy and opportunity to create (personally and in business). It heralds their successes and mentors their fall-backs. Few companies do so much for their employees current and future opportunities, even if they move on to other positions outside of Tilson. Josh Broder, CEO and owner, actively leads the company and takes daily personal interest in fostering a team of great people by offering good pay and good benefits, with a eye toward making Portland, Maine, and Tilson's other local branch communities, great places to live, work, and thrive.
Cons
As a fast growth, aggressive mover in the marketplace, Tilson can be taxing in its pace. With all of the opportunities for personal growth and advancement noted above, much is asked of each employee: hard work, long hours, occasional crossed signals on company direction. Even as it is highly successful, it is still maturing in policies, processes, and staffing. The road to success is not always a smooth curve up; there are bumps along the way. However, the positives outnumber the negatives by a significant multiple.
