Pros
Short commute to work. Good job security as they don't ever fire anyone. Which is both good and bad.
Cons
Horrible management. They mislead customers and lie to employees. This place defines the word "toxic". Avoid at all costs.
Pros
You can work here a long time without actually be qualified to do your job. There are some really nice people who work here as well. Plus they're building a chick-fil-e just down the street which is awesome.
Cons
The workplace: Do you like working with a team? Do you like collaborating with smart and innovative people? Do you enjoy going to work every day to a place that challenges you and pushes your limits? Then this is not the place for you! Work/Life balance is non-existent. There is a group of executives that work everyone to the bone with complete disregard for the implications. You could end up traveling to customer sites for months straight on end and be told that you are not doing enough. PTO is a joke, the pay is laughable and the perks...wait, what perks? The Management: Somehow the company has been around for decades and it still operates as if the leadership just got their first management job days ago. On the plus side, I can't accuse them of favoritism, that implies there are people there who are actually treated well. The middle management is a farce since only one executive runs the company and runs it badly. The management is vindictive, paranoid and out of date with modern day technologies. Which leads us to.... The Product: The code was written in the 90's and has not evolved since. It is also very sloppy code which leads to lots of bugs and a stubbornness to correct the issues. This is what happens when leadership refuses to learn anything newer than VB6. I used to feel bad when new customers signed with PathGuide, because those customers were about to lose a lot of money for a product that can't scale, isn't flexible , and falls far short of their expectations.
Pros
If you are someone who enjoys a challenge, have strong technical skills and are passionate about learning new things then you will love working here. Compensation is competitive while not having to travel to Seattle and contrary to another reviewer the company is very accommodating of your personal life. I saw a review by an employee who recently left and felt obligated to post a review in response. The reviewer states that "those who have been there for a long time are there because they cannot go anywhere else". This is hogwash. The long term employees are here because they are competent employees who embraced the challenge and enjoy working there and would thrive and be an asset to any company. There is a strong family atmosphere and hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. How seriously am I supposed to take a review from someone who says "other social rights"? What "rights" are these? In today's millennial world I guess everything is a right. Their review is a testament to why they were not successful at their position. If incompetent employees are upset at the company because they are dismissed for not being able to perform their job duties this is not a negative but a necessity and a sign of strong leadership driving to build a cohesive team of people. Some people will only thrive when they can hide in a crowd and shop for someone else to do their jobs for them. Every one knows the type. They are toxic to a work environment. I would encourage any smart, hard working people looking to be part of a team of a growing company where you will make a difference to apply here.
Cons
Working for a small company is not for everyone. The culture is different and if you are not okay with the exposure that goes with it then it will not be the job for you.
