So many empty promises.

Pros

- Good place for beginners, especially people right out of college or still in. - Pretty laid back work environment. - Variety of projects to work on which keeps things interesting.

Cons

- Management is all talk. They will tell you things will change but I wouldn't hold your breath. They like to promise things that never happen and seem very manipulative. -The CEO puts on a front. He can be very fake and has been caught in several lies. His head is usually up in the clouds thinking of the "next 20 best things" which often slows down or even unnecessarily stops progress on paid client work. - The pay is low compared to competitors. They will try to lowball you. - Expectations for work are often confusing. Communication is horrid between the team and management. There is a divide between the management and the rest of the team. - There's a person currently on the team that makes inappropriate comments and lacks good work ethic which divides the team even more. He slows down any project he is assigned to and makes it difficult for developers working with him to finish their own work. He is really distracting to the rest of the team and always leaving the office for breaks. Management knows that he is a problem, but does nothing about it (they said they would, but this goes back to empty promises).

Pros

- Variety of projects - Solid development process - Pretty laid back work environment.

Cons

- Little value to their employees (and grossly under paid). - Words mean nothing here and actions on words rarely happen. The management is highly manipulative and will lead you into a false lul into believing that changes are happening (changes that need to happen). Many false promises come out of this. - Management is fake. I can't express enough how everyone is absolutely fake with a false front. This is not a comforting thing to have when you're in an extremely small company relying on each other to thrive. - High employee turn over. - They tend to hire a lot of junior level developers who are new, versus investing in true senior developers or investing in educating and holding onto their current developers. - They don't let people go, ever. There is a current team member who has been noted as unpleasant by many. This member has been a complained about by many old and newcomers, causing un-needed controversies/headaches/and issues among employees who try to do their jobs. He distracts the entire team and always leaves the office for breaks and who knows what (when stuff seriously needs to be done). Management knows that he is a problem, but does nothing about it (they said they would, but this goes back to empty words). - Sexist, lack of work effort, along with many other disturbing and uncomfortable features, have become generally accepted behavior, as nothing is ever done about situations presented that relate to these issues.

Pros

1. Awesome location 2. Great team of people 3. CEO is right there with you 4. CEO is willing to work with you and get you where you need to be 5. Great variety of projects 6. WFH days

Cons

1. Starting as contract employee to perm shouldn't be for all roles in the company. I get why but it doesn't make sense for all roles. 2. Do the review when you say you will and not wait a month or two to give them. You loose employees faster when you do that and its not far.
