      Pros

      I negotiated a decent salary and, at the time, the team that worked there was great.

      Cons

      This company has failed. In three years the company has failed to garner a solid user base. Rather than admit that there is no market for the product, the CEO purchased a business with a larger customer-base and rolled them into Forever to bolster the quarterly numbers. Once that showed signs of struggling, rather than traditional marketing, he pushed a move to Multi-Level Marketing. Make no mistake, Forever is a Pyramid scheme. Having worked first hand on the technology, the claim of Forever as 'permanent' photo storage is dubious. The direction the Engineering team is headed, it won't be long until things fall apart. The decisions about the technology that support the Forever guarantee are decided between a CEO at the top who is clueless about tech, and an ego-inflated tech lead who has no real-world experience in building the kind of applications that can support such an endeavor. Anyone interested in working there needs to know that nearly every engineer that is working there today was not there 6 months ago. The turnover rate is atrocious because on the surface Forever looks so great and has a great vision, but from the inside it is one of the most poorly run companies I have EVER worked for. The problems start at the top with the CEO, who has gotten as far as he has by talking, not delivering.

      Not a healthy environment to work in

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Salary is fair and benefit package is very good for a small company. The offices are very nice and in a great location downtown. The salespeople in the field are passionate, driven and a loyal group that voices their opinion loudly for the benefit of the customers. The product concept is good and relevant to the times as right now people more than ever are losing photos to hard drive crashes and phone back up failures.

      Cons

      The CEO is a very skilled salesperson and will spin any situation into something that puts him and his company into the most favorable light. One might think that is a good thing but I can assure it is not. He will share numbers out of context to make things appear as if there is an increase but if you compare his words to the slides he shows they are very often representing different things. He removes anyone from the company that does not agree with him. If you look at the staff over the last three to four years you will see only a handful of the same people. Long hours including holidays and weekends are expected and you if you don't work while on vacation you can be sure it will negatively impact his perception of your work ethic. The management team is fearful and not does stand up for what is right because most know they will lose their job if they do not remain yes men/women.

      Start-up company, but more mature than most

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The work is flexible, with the company focusing on results, not on metrics or on hitting strict deadlines. Working from home is allowed even without prior approval, and managers allow for flexible hours. Free soft drinks, coffee, and tea at the office. Office atmosphere is casual. No dress code, and there's Beer Friday where people meet at 5 PM to share beer provided by the company and to socialize. Developers submit their plans to management, but are trusted to determine what is important. PTO is paid off at the end of the year if not used. Beautiful view on the 20th floor of PPG Plaza. Monthly status meetings where the CEO explains where the company stands and what is planned next. Holiday party with bonus. Clear review structure.

      Cons

      More than 40 hrs is still expected, as is typical of a start-up company PTO has an upper limit of 20 days per year. There are 5 required shutdown days per year where employees must spend PTO. As with most start-ups, there is some uncertainty.
