Pros

The only thing l can think is that they pay always on time.

Cons

Favouritism or plain managerial incompetence. No chance of progresion .I don't know how they choose the people they hire. Clueless people hired instead of giving a chance to their own workers.

We have always promoted from within, and recently elevated a designer to a team manager position. Historically, internal employee progression depends entirely on possessing the necessary skill set (s). We always encourage individuals within our organization to reach out if interested in moving up, and taking on more responsibility, but it is also imperative the person in question be able to do the job, and/or be willing to level up if needed.

Pros

The developers and designers have real talent. I really did learn a lot from them and I hope I made a few lasting friendships. I got to go to a conference. I asked about benefits and the lady told me "coffee, pop, and food on fridays" so I guess that goes in this section. I was laid off (Yes, this is better than working there)

Cons

** I patiently waited a few days to post this ** Would you like to work for a company that doesn't offer relocation assistance? Would you like to work for a company that underpays its employees? Would you like to work for a company that has absolutely no benefits? Would you like to work for a company where you get 5 days of vacation per year that caps at 10 days until year 5 (no sick days)? Also, the CEO says "you guys get enough time off as it is." Would you like to work at a company that gives you a laughable apple watch for 6 year anniversary? Would you like to work for a company that has so much turnover that you witness 10+ people leave within six months, without rehires so it's not even turnover, it's just "turn"? Would you like to work for a company that has a CEO that is absolutely crazy and will even comment on this review to prove it? (What are you going to do now?) Would you like to work for a company that hires in leadership that says "Agile is stupid, let's instead plan and document" and come up with ideas so dull that all you can do is roll your eyes? Would you want to work with a leader that says "net-net" in client meetings? Would you like to work for a company that gives zero days notice that you'll be "laid off"? Would you like to work for a company that offers no severance? Would you like to get told "At least you can keep everything that you already own." as you're packing up your desk? If so, this place is the right place for you! Advice to the junior dev looking for a job/experience: - take the job if you must, get your experience - the devs are awesome - get going after a year. Of course, you'll figure that out.

Hey, this may come as a shock, but we would like to point out that sometimes (believe it or not) people are let go from jobs. We understand your frustration, but that's the way the real world works — and often this is a bitter pill to swallow. As a company, we strive to put the right people in the right chairs, and we can't settle for anything less than top performers who are a good culture fit. Not everyone makes the grade, and life teaches all of us that mature adults can use failure to their advantage by learning from it, and moving on with respect and dignity. Perhaps it is impossible for some to grow up, and that's exactly why they remain on the same old grammar school playground.

Pros

The people you will work with are great. Chepri has a really good job at hiring talented and hard working people that all get together well and have a good time. Pizza every other Friday. Occasional company trips to the local pub.

Cons

No benefits. They'll pay you what they can talk you down to with no bearing on what others in the same position make. People have been fired for taking sick days. Over a 50% turnover rate due to firings and resignations. Management has their hands tied by the owner. The owner is abusive, sets unrealistic expectations, and blames other for his poor decisions and actions.

Thank you for the review. I definitely understand how you may feel this way. We definitely try to make our work life as casual as possible. Unfortunately, you are misinformed. We have never fired anyone for taking sick days, in our 8 year history. As a matter of fact we have a very liberal time off policy as long has we have notice. We do not have a 50% turn-over rate and as matter of fact we are growing. Management isn't tied down by the owner, they have full control over their respective departments. That being said we take all feedback very seriously, including in our exit interviews and have an open door policy during a formal work-day.
