Pros

Met some really great people, creative, and just overall well rounded. Very diverse staff. Richard (CEO) did a fairly good job of always keeping the employees informed on the big decisions taking place and how it affects them.

Cons

Pay is below market. Always felt like the company could go under at any moment. Some employees really don't care, and it sucks b/c if you want to do your job well, it requires them to do it well. Employee turn over is fast (esp in sales dept). Departments were very siloed.

Pros

They are an incredible group of very smart people committed to innovation. Management kept employees well-informed and treated them fairly. The benefits were great (including 2 paid days off to donate your time to a charity of your choosing)

Cons

The company was sold and is no longer in business

Pros

it's a job... easy to get if you interview well. pay is decent, but definitely not good. they pay overtime. it's a fun job at first, until you realize how stupid the inventions you work with are and how little the inventions have to do with your job if you're in sales, it's all about making sales doing whatever it takes. They teach you sales strategies, but if you have a conscience, not all of them are good sales strategies. Many times they teach you to be brutally honest and if the customer wants to purchase the service, then sell it. However, the services being offered are not productive or worth anyone's money

Cons

management does not share vision with employees, management lies to employees, company is a "legal scam" - they sell services that they know will not help the inventors that are paying from $695 to $26k+. Some inventions are so bad (it's the inventors fault there) that they don't market them as they promise they will when they charge $10-26k to do so. Many products do not go to trade shows and are never shown to anyone at all, so therefore they're not fulfilling the services they promise inventors.
