Pros

Office has a convenient location.

Cons

Communication is awful at all levels of management . Pay is extremely low. Project management is chaotic. Team leaders have no experience leading teams and have a 'bubble' mentality. Team meetings are basically project updates that could be handled more efficiently via email except for the fact that nobody has email or any internet access on their computer.

Pros

Employees are friendly, smart, interesting people to work with. Location is pretty nice--reasonable commute from the city or East Bay, a lot of restaurants/bars nearby, not terribly far from the gym if that's your thing. Projects have the potential to be interesting.

Cons

Delegation of projects is ridiculous. Some people are totally overworked while others are forgotten--who falls into which category seems to change fairly often, even if the total number of projects going on doesn't change. CEO is unprofessional. Frequently insults current employees (lazy, drug addicts, crazy) and gossips about former employees (never by name, but still describes them enough that it's obvious). Likes to have an audience when he chastises people. Is especially rough on the (few) women in the office. Extremely high turnover--despite being told that no one leaves the company, nearly 15 people have left (most quit, some were fired) in the past year. Enough people are casually looking for employment elsewhere that there is an unofficial bet about who will leave first. Growth within the company is fairly nonexistent. If you don't have a math degree or "technical background," it will be assumed that you are incapable of learning even the most basic technical terms. That degree is more important than your proven skills. Pay is extremely low for the industry.

Pros

There's really nothing I can say that is positive.

Cons

Akli Adjaoute is rude, pompous and belligerent. It couldn't be just me or a clash of cultural issues because there's a lot of people with the same negative opinion of him. Even if it were a cultural thing it's no excuse to how he treated me. He lied to me about everything: technology, customers, prospective customers, on and on it went about how great they were. He lied about pay as well. A real winner.
