Pros
- Once a week, there's free food! - You're helping people do something wonderful with their minds; there's some amazing success stories that they get sent in. The Muse can work, and is backed by research! - It's casual- startups have that down packed! - The development team is very fun and open. If you're going to work for Interaxon, work in that department. - Great downtown location- it's a beautiful building. - If you want balance, it's there for the taking. This is not a company that grinds their employees.
Cons
- This company is in it to make a profit. That is about 99% of the reason it exists. Money. A solid reason to be sure as it's a business, but this is a company that could change the world with the right motivations. - The development team is treated incredibly well, but on the flip side the rest of the company is pretty toxic; people are on average, not happy, and teams have no idea how to communicate with one another - stress, rudeness, and lack of listening skills manifest themselves daily in meetings. This is such a shame as it doesn't need to be like this. - They hire people who do not fit what the company sells- very few health oriented types. I think this is because they haven't invested in an HR personnel. There's junk food and alcohol galore and very few employees exercise or really care about improving their mental, spiritual and physical health. If you're looking to work for a health conscious company, beware, this is not it. - Low pay- barely above minimum wage for a number of people. This is pretty astounding for a company built on the principle of empathy. I would not suggest working here unless it's in a management level or developer position. - A lot of management and some of the highest execs are unapproachable. It is not a flat hierarchy like most startups, and there are so many politics with departments, to the point where the company suffers.
