Pros

A recognizable name for your resume in the IT industry

Cons

No matter what you are hired for your job becomes trying to manage the management. 2+ years with no raise... Or raises are given and then taken away by some kind of "restructuring". Owner suffers from narcissistic, sociopathic, delusional behavior. If you think you have a relationship, you are wrong. Your value is determined by emotional based numbers or how the Owner might be perceived if you were let go... and even that has a time limit. The Owner thinks he is smarter than everybody in the room (even though he is not) and draws conclusions on how you answer questions rather than the content of your answer. This company is where it is only because of demand in the industry... the Owner basically "lucked" into this, CBT has been successful despite his negative influence. This is a small company so everybody is subject to direct influence from the Owner.

Pros

Excellent benefits - 5 weeks PTO annually, free healthcare for your whole family, 401k matching Fully remote workforce Regular bonus awarded through profit sharing Casual culture, work hard play hard type of vibe You can get a lot of experience on a number of projects or collaborative work with other teams

Cons

Not a great place for people who need really structured management or tasks - you need to be self-motivated enough to get things done quickly as a remote worker, and be responsible and driven enough to be able to figure stuff out on your own as it's very trimmed-down on the management and operations side. Don't work here if you're not comfortable with shifting priorities - we work fast to try new things and pivot quickly as needed.

Remote, team before everyone was let go.

Cons

Fear culture, no communication or rather, some manipulation. No collaboration amongst other teams.
