Pros

Good location downtown close to metro

Cons

The entire company suffers under the weight of a mean and extremely incompetent CEO. Where do I even begin? He plays employees against each other, by gossiping (often blatant falsehoods), asking others what specific people think about him, and asking people he trusts to be his “allies” in trying to quell any sentiment against him. He lies to his employees about other employees (for example, chalking up mass exoduses of employees as his doing instead). He doesn’t have a shred of self-awareness. When things at the company go well, it’s always HIS “genius”. When they go poorly, it’s always the ineptitude of the people beneath him. He makes himself out to be blameless in literally every situation — be it a culture that fosters blatant misogyny, or failure to properly deliver on a product or project. He screams and he insults people constantly — to the point where he himself believes everything is their fault and nothing is his. I have never worked in an environment where so many people have CRIED because the CEO is so stubborn in his persistence to break down people's characters. His approach to work is absolutely totalizing. He will call employees late into the night (long after they have left the office or even on weekends) to gossip or vent about his problems and inability to maintain a culture that worships him. He expects emotional labor from his employees, but lashes out at them regardless.

Pros

- You will work with smart and talented people - The CEO is very friendly. I did not experience any issues. - I did nothing for 7-8 months and still got paid - Plenty of downtime to study for certifications (self-study) - Decent benefits (four weeks of PTO, tuition reimbursement, etc.) - Startup culture that allows for flexibility and the ability to wear casual clothing - The ability to work from home two days a week (these rules seemed different for everyone) - Free Hummus & seaweed!

Cons

- Middle management knows very little about simple technologies or cyber-related concepts. Example: VMware vs. a filesystem. Symmetric vs. Asymmetric encryption. I can go on. It's bad. - Minimal opportunity for growth. I did very little related to cybersecurity throughout my time at Amida. It was more like clerical work. - I requested to do work several times; however, it seemed as if I got ignored (I never thought that I would write something like this). - My opinions seemed to be dismissed and not matter when it came to cyber-related issues. - Prepare to be bored, left out of meetings (that could benefit yourself and the company), and do work that holds very little value to the company and the customer. - Prepare to help new staff install remedial software (Google Chrome, slack, etc.). - You will also have to inquire about yearly evaluations as well as pay raises. - I experienced a fair amount of passive aggressive comments and remarks from management towards the end of my career at Amia. -The work from home/ PTO policy seems to apply differently to everyone.

Pros

Some of the positive reviews have it right, there are a lot of perks to working at Amida. Most of which are pretty common amongst big and small companies in this day and age. It has a great location, flexible vacation policy and decent pay.

Cons

I held back on writing a review until I saw the overly positive reviews that look like they were written by senior management, probably by direction of the CEO. When I worked there the company had a laughably high turnover rate, which... as others have pointed out was largely due to the CEO's management style. The hostile work environment is not one that I felt like I could learn and grow in.
