Pros

Small company vibe with nice casual atmosphere. People were nice and felt appreciated there. Overall good environment if you're just trying to focus on getting work done.

Cons

The company doesn't have much prospects as far as customers and/or growth. I was always confused as to why the headquarters was in Allen, TX but they don't have a single US customer. I think it was a big idea 5 years ago but never really panned out. The CEO laid off 20-30 people (myself included) saying "We did not collect a single dime in all of 2013". They promised booming growth due to their industry, but all the customers are somewhere in the Caribbean jungle and from and from my perspective they didn't really seem like reliable customers.

Pros

Everyone has a chance to be involved in many parts of the business. Management trusts employees to get the job done since there is no time to micromanage.

Cons

Executive management has lacked a clear and singular direction which has led to several rounds of layoffs and instability in the future of the company.
