      The Worst Company I've Ever Worked For - Anonymous employee Stateside Employee Review

      Pros

      - Coworkers - Some interesting projects. - Free coffee, you will need it.

      Cons

      I'm not writing this to scorn Stateside. I am writing this to inform potential employees of deceit and headaches they're about to endure. This was jumping ship into an endless ocean of empty promises that lead to nothing. I'd seen my coworkers fired over being exhausted and wanting to not work on weekends on end. Worst things are: - Management: They will do whatever it takes to make the sale, even if it means kill their entire team with overtime or having to contract a third party to do it. They don't listen to their team recommendations or risks they presented, even if it will cost them their client - Payment: They are really bad at paying, don't be surprised if they try to promise some extra things so they can delay payment... even offer a "share" of the company, it will be a lie. - Their concept of ownership: Do whatever it takes to make all project work in our timeline, don't mind your family, your health, or anything, even if it's weekend, holiday, the 10th night in a row, doesn't matter. Advice for people thinking off working with them: don't!! but if you decide to do it anyways. Get everything in writing. ALWAYS. Be ready to defend your self, they will try to blame you for EVERYTHING, even if you raised red flags or if you warned on any risk for the project.. it will be your fault. So have your facts ready

      It seems that even if the intended purpose of this post was not to “scorn Stateside” we barely see any constructive criticism we can take action on. It is unfortunate how bad energy and resentment leads to these kind of comments. We care deeply for our employees and make sure everyone is heard, we do have a comprehensive benefits package and Costa Rica and US labor law ensures everyone is paid properly and on time as well as treated fairly. Employees satisfaction and motivation is key to delivering the best possible quality that’s why we have an anonymous suggestion box so employees know we listen to them and take action on their recommendations. We strive to do the best work in this industry, and understand that sometimes we have to work hard to achieve it. However, we make sure all employees get a correct work/life balance and get properly compensated for their work, which is a key for everyone to perform at a higher level.

      Pros

      This company invests in their employees with coaching, continual training, and the opportunity to work with state of the art enterprise companies. The benefits, opportunities for growth, and heart-based leadership make Stateside a great home for talented tech professionals.

      Cons

      Stateside seeks out and employs only the very best talent and has the highest standards for working with their clients. If you are not a lifetime-learner or team-player focused on growing your skills, this will not be a good fit for you.

      Pros

      Working here was definitely a learning experience

      Cons

      -Low pay for high work expectations -No set job roles or training -Lack of concern for employees, as long as they are able meet deadlines and keep clients happy that is all that matters -Failure to meet deadlines is always the employees' fault, management never takes "ownership" of own shortcomings -Very unstable, quick staff turnaround -Uncertain future for this startup, if employees continue to be undervalued Don't be fooled by the cool "vibe" of this place. It takes a certain personality to be happy at this place, so please know what you are getting into before accepting a job here. If you choose to work here, don't put all your eggs in one basket your job may not be secure.

      Thank you, we do appreciate and value the constructive criticism and take this type of feedback very seriously, we agree that it really does take a certain type of person to be happy and successful working at Stateside. We take pride in listening to our employees, which is proven by the fact that only 3 employees have resigned in our 3 years of operation. A testament to this fact is that we also provide a suggestion box where employees can submit their feedback to management anonymously so that we can learn and make changes along the way where necessary. We strive to achieve a high level of creativity and individual efforts from our employees. And as much as we learn from our success we learn from our failures - including hiring candidates that are not a good cultural fit.
