Feeling Blessed to Not Work There Anymore
Pros
Great office space, free health insurance, free beverages in the fridge, pretty generous PTO
Cons
Everything else. The CEO, Chris Westmeyer, doesn't know how to manage anything effectively. He thinks motivating his employees means making them fear their job security instead of mentoring them or having their back. He says Digital Strike is the greatest place to work, but it's only good if you don't question him on anything--even if it's something he hired you for and he has said explicitly that he knows nothing about. He will fire you at a moment's notice without even talking to you about it. You'll just find out by being locked out of your Gmail and Slack. In the time I was there, 7 longtime employees left in 4 months. On a team of 12, that's a really big deal. Office hours are from 9-5, but if you aren't there at 8 and you don't leave until well after 5, Chris Westmeyer will think you don't work hard enough. There is no concept of HR. There is no one you can talk to without it getting back to Westmeyer. There is always the possibility of retaliation. No one's job is safe there.
