Mediander.com launched in July 2013 and now has more than a million visitors a month. Mediander is a team environment and everyone has a stake in the success of the company. Since the time I started at Mediander I have observed that the CEO respects everyone's opinion, and that every employee has a vote in shaping the company’s success.
Cons
Mediander is a start-up which means everyone wears many hats and needs to put in the time and effort the job requires. This is not a 9 to 5 job but those who put in the extra time are always rewarded.
It's very laid back and nobody works particularly hard. Most people come in at 10 and leave at 5 on the dot.
Cons
I was the only one who knew how to bring in traffic. Even if it wasn't very good or qualified traffic, but still there is value even if you are spending a lot of money to do that. Anyways, they don't recognize the people who do great things.
I am free to make any proposal and pitch any idea -- and get an audience. It's a very open culture and collaborative work environment. For this reason, Mediander is a great place to grow and learn new skills.
Cons
Top-down management is light, so you need a lot of personal discipline to stay focused.
