Chaotic start up.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, perks, office and people

Cons

Upper management is so unorganized that little tasks become chaos. The pay is okay, but not for the stress day in and day out. I had high hopes working here, but honestly it's just another unorganized start up with big ideas and no way to put them into action.

Pros

There are free lunches everyday. People on the floor are nice. Beer on Tap. Free Snacks.

Cons

People aren't what they seem. Management plays favorites are deceptive. Becoming corporate and process just for process. Few opportunities. Limited leads. No new products that work.

Amazing place to work

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free lunch, snacks, gym membership. Subsidized transportation costs. Incredibly smart people, fun work culture. CEO has a clear vision for the company and C-Level has made great strides in being more transparent with employees.

Cons

People who need a clear path for professional growth may get frustrated here as teams and responsibilities are constantly being adjusted and changed as the company gets larger. Review process needs a lot of work (should be a 360 review that allows for management feedback). No 401K matching. New products/processes/systems take longer than they should to implement because of Engineering shortage, however this is actively being worked on by recruiting, so hopefully will be resolved soon.
