Cons

None of the points below are cons. There are no cons to working at this company. -Expect to be thrown in the deep end from day 1. -This company takes no passengers, so if you cannot understand complex technological concepts and are not committed to lifelong learning and personal development -Expect 100% contribution to the team.

Pros

-Absolutely amazingly talented and fun coworkers -Middle management is encouraging and supportive of personal growth -Free lunch on Fridays

Cons

-Founders unapproachable and unaware of privilege -Beneifts are lacking for a tech company. High deductibles and copays, no parental leave besides short term disability (which employees had to practically beg for). -Very stingy company. -Talented people leaving/getting poached by other companies -Leadership claims “turnover is normal” however, 17 out of 80 people left so far in 2018. All extremely talented individuals who left for higher paying jobs and better benefits . -No HR and CEO referred to HR as “baby sitters” and states “we don’t need baby sitters.” -CEO also stated that it is not his responsibility to make sure all of his employees could afford a one bedroom apartment. -Middle management doesn’t get promoted like they should. -they do promote some people within but as a way to pay people less -Their 2nd floor mezzanine is not accessible to those with different abilities. Founders have no intention of correcting this unless they hire someone with disabilities or someone can’t walk up the stairs.
