Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours in the right area. Good people to work with. Multicultural engineering teams. Decent health benefits.

Cons

Tends to not promote from within. Does nothing to retain top talent employees. Pay is stagnant and non-competitive with other tech companies in the area.

Laid back atmosphere for the most part, friendly people, fair compensation

If you want to keep your best, pay them

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

very flexiable, unlimited PTO, dog friendly office, ability to work from home if needed, proper expectations for scope of work

Cons

low pay for the amount of responsibility, caught in a catch 22 for being able to move up within the company...they require experience to move to new position and do not take current experience into account
