Under 34? Stay Away...

Pros

Decent starting pay depending on your position. Some great talent in the engineering department of the business. Free food occasionally They are very thorough with their interviews

Cons

-Management is constantly changing. -With the exception of a few leaders throughout the company, management is horrendous - either extreme micromangement, or no management whatsoever. There is no in-between. -Direction of the company is expressed by the CEO, however, the message is clearly lost while coming down to the rest of the company. -Raises are nearly non existent - poor pay structure -No one under 34 is happy at this company. Career advancement is nearly non existent in most departments. -The culture is stuck in 1985, which will not help advance this company where they want to go.

Pros

Custom has a nice balance of big company aspects (benefits, processes) with small company feel (time-off requests, small friendly culture.) Hours are very fair and the people are awesome.

Cons

They do not define a clear growth plan at all; and if they do, it's barely adhered to. Change happens at a snail's pace, if it does. Very top heavy management structure, once had a dinner where there were more managers than employees in a department. Also, they never close for bad weather. Not that big a con, but a pet peeve for sure.
