Pros
The pay was on par with industry standards. Health benefits were outstanding. The company supplements 50% of the cost, and the choices of coverage were quite good. Equipment was new and the tech was up-to-date. Early on, projects had promise of lots of involvement and the ability to make a huge impact for the company's future. Small touches made the day - to - day nice. LinkedIn learning, snacks, headphones (that they take when you leave), and other nice additions. The field was exciting to work in, and it was fun to be a part of something new.
Cons
I came to this company because it promised a high work ethic and the ability to feel accomplishment. I never had that feeling. I truly never got to utilize my expertise. I never was allowed to finish a project before being told to pivot. No projects had requirements and there was no or little communication to assist with meeting stakeholder satisfaction. Every project led to angry comments but there was no way to improve on the next project since there was NO communication. There was no tangible way to measure success. KPI that is found in most companies was lacking, and proving value was an uphill battle or impossible, especially with the pivots and removal from projects. It felt more like a popularity contest than anything. Meetings and project reviews often involved screaming, demeaning language, and non-professional banter instead of project-related information. I didn't learn anything from this type of criticism. Clear and calm communication could have alleviated the extreme angst and hatred of project outputs. Vacation time was not on par with industry standards. I also spent unhealthy amounts of time at my desk and was often berated for getting up to do normal things - such as use the restroom... "Where have you been!?!?" There was very little flexibility in the workplace. Trust was the main factor, despite being able to provide proof of trustworthiness from previous projects and companies. Rumors and gossip seemed to lead the way more than work.

Pros
This company does everything right. Bottom line. I was actually really nervous when I started working here because it all seemed too good to be true. Turns out, after almost a year here, it was both good and true. I come from a history of start ups and I've never been treated with such respect for my position in any company I've ever worked for. The owners are some of the most humble, motivating, hard working, and honest people on the planet. They've created an environment where everyone wants to keep pushing themselves and keep doing better. They also support any opportunity for further education. Whether that's books, courses or conferences, they will go out of their way to make sure you get it or attend it. If you're looking for somewhere to truly grow as a person and in your career, this is absolutely the place for you. Any negative review on here is, in my opinion, just a bitter person that didn't come here to give it everything they had. One of this company's core values is honesty and that is as honest as it gets.
Cons
If you don't like to work hard or push yourself, this might not be the place for you.
