Hi, To start I'd like to thank you for your frank and honest feedback. Talking about these issues is how we become a better company and there's nothing more important to us than having an engaged, experienced, and satisfied team. It's why employee retention continues to be a major focus of ours. Over the past year we've consistently rolled out programs to make each one of our employees want to stay and grow within the company. Here are some examples: 1) Automatic semi-annual merit based raises of 1-5% that's tied to performance reviews 2) Equity compensation for every full-time salaried employee 3) Monthly company-sponsored events such as party cruises, trips to the movie, BBQs in Brooklyn Bridge Park, and more 4) More tiers for promotion in the company hierarchy so we can better match compensation and responsibilities to an individual's experience 5) Flex work hour policy that gives you more control over start and end times 6) Increased vacation day benefits 7) Invested in subscriptions to online educational tools that employees can access at anytime. 8) A persistent commitment by management to empower employees. Admittedly we still have more work to do. We're consistently talking to our employees about what more can be done. Your feedback here on Glassdoor is incredibly helpful in that regard as well so thanks again for taking the time to leave feedback.

Pros

-Coworkers are intelligent, friendly, and helpful. -Loose dress code with flexible hours. -Management has learned some valuable lessons over the past year with regards to project management and how to treat their employees. -High transparency into company practices and decision making reasons. -Employees are able to suggest changes to company practices and project implementation. -Monthly company events. -Management is earnestly doing its best to try to improve and is open to feedback.

Cons

-On days where a deadline needs to be met or where an app needs to be built out the the store, employees are occasionally forced to work extra hours which can result in 12hr+ workdays. This can be stressful and is not ideal for employees who have long commutes to work. -Some Legacy projects can be difficult to work with due to poor implementation and spaghetti code. -Salaries are somewhat below the Industry Standard due to the company still being fairly small. -Still needs to iron out some kinks when planning out fixed contract projects and doing time estimates.
